PROSPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT OF LVDC ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM ENERGY EFFICIENCY

The subject addressed is the energy efficiency (EE) of LVDC electricity distribution system. The focus of the paper is on the development trends and the dependencies of the system EE. In the paper, the prospects of development of LVDC electricity distribution EE is presented using quantitative results and the system development challenges are discussed. Moreover, the impacts of microgrid infrastructure developments on the LVDC system efficiency are covered. With assumptions on presented infrastructure developments, future LVDC system will be able to improve the EE of energy distribution.
