What is the future of the distribution grids? What are the advantages of DC over AC?
Development of a smart DC distribution grid requires not only technology development. To be competitive, DC smart grid requires novel market solutions and adequate stakeholder adoption.
To understand how these layers are interconnected, join the symposium on DC distribution smart grids where experts discuss opportunities and obstacles for the DC distribution grids.
