Contact Us4 Frequently Asked Questions about “Government procurement of inverter cabinet dc power grid distribution stations”
What is DC-grids?
DC-GRIDS focuses on improving the market readiness of one facet of the grid, power electronics converters, that could drastically improve its capacity. Much of today's grid runs on alternating current (AC) but using direct current (DC) transmission can transport electricity over longer distances with less electricity lost.
Are next-generation inverters compatible with current grid infrastructure?
Compatibility Issue: The compatibility of next-generation inverters with present grid infrastructure is an important factor in power system modernization, especially when incorporating renewable energy sources.
Why should we convert power systems to DC?
In addition to preventing energy loss through AC/DC conversion, converting related power systems to DC will strengthen the resilience of the region by forming a DC grid that allows power to be shared with adjacent facilities and communities.
How is power allocated between converter stations?
The power allocation among converter stations is mainly realized by changing the DC voltage. In an in-series type multi-terminal DC transmission system, generally a converter station is responsible for the balance of the DC voltage in the entire circuit, which also regulates the current simultaneously.
