Medium voltage direct current applications
Medium voltage direct current applications
Although more than a century has passed since the heated dispute between Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla known as the “War of Currents”, the debate as to whether use of direct current (DC) is better than the now widespread use of alternating current (AC) continues. Development of modern static converters, growing use of renewable energy sources (e.g. photovoltaic generation plants) and new categories of users operating directly in direct current (e.g. distribution on board
ships, especially military vessels, data centers and electric vehicles) have re-opened the possibility for direct current to no longer be relegated to merely specific applications but to be used more generally, for electric power distribution.
The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of how direct current can be applied and an indication as to the state-of-the-art and possible future developments.
