Unlocking Sustainable, Carbon-Neutral Energy with Advanced DC Power Architecture
The goal has been set: the world must become climate neutral as quickly as possible.
Efforts are needed in all sectors to switch to renewable energies and increase energy
efficiency. Sustainability, carbon-neutral energy, energy savings, and efficiency are key,
which can be achieved with further electrification in production processes. Switching
to direct current (DC) instead of using alternating current (AC) in factories has a huge
potential in resource and energy savings. In such a DC factory, conversion losses are
reduced, and power generation systems from renewable energies and battery storage
are integrated directly into the factory systems. The advantages include lower copper
consumption in the power lines, less power consumption, power recovery during braking,
and the low-loss integration of battery storage and renewable power generators.
