Summary
Driven by the continued effort to combat the climate change and achieve carbon neutrality, the composition of the energy sources and consumers connected to the electrical grid is rapidly changing. An increasing amount of issues are being experienced by distribution system operators while trying to accommodate new systems like renewable energy sources or electric vehicles charging infrastructure. One of the possible solutions is to develop a DC distribution infrastructure, which is especially interesting as most of the new connections mentioned above are native DC sources and loads, respectively. This requires low cost, very efficient and compact DC/DC converters from LV (10kV). However, currently no commercial solutions exist on the market. The aim of this project is to develop and demonstrate a commercial DC/DC converter prototype which can be introduced to the market within short timescale (
