Combining local energy generation, a direct current (DC) backbone infrastructure, and DC loads produces systems that are more resilient, reliable, and energy efficient than any others on the planet. While scalable DC microgrids increase operational autonomy while reducing energy consumption by 10% or more and have a lower total cost of ownership by 30% or more.
This presentation will explain how the RE+ demonstration microgrid, which has a backbone infrastructure of renewable energy DC Bus which enables our system to directly couple solar generation, batteries, plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs), wind generation, and fuel cells to produce, store, and consume energy as DC.
