Why DC Microgrid
Eliminates AC-DC
conversion
Zero net energy
goals
Flexibility

Increase energy efficiency

Can be easily relocated

Driving the use of renewable

energy sources

Layout of DC microgrid

DC Microgrid topology

Merits of DC microgrid

Less fluctuation

High efficiency

Loads are not affected by

voltage sag
voltage swell
three-phase voltage unbalance
voltage harmonics

Demerits of DC microgrid

Synchronization of distributed generation

Inrush current(transformers, induction motors etc.)

Become complicated when multiple interconnection points

are require

DC microgrid potential applications

Large

commercial buildings

Telecom

/ Data centers

Unelectrified

villages
