Abstract
It is well known that the Low-Voltage DC (LVDC) distribution system is a promising topology as a future smart distribution system due to its high efficiency and reliability. The focus of the paper is on the development trends and the dependencies of the LVDC distribution system energy efficiency. Future LVDC system will be able to improve the energy efficiency of distribution networks. Moreover energy efficiency is depends on components such converters and infrastructures such as energy storage systems involved in LVDC distribution system, so that more efficient converters and storage systems are used to make LVDC distribution system more efficient. Nowadays, with renewable, energy is often produced in DC and then converted to AC for transmission and distribution purpose. A large majority of electrical and electronic devices for their functioning needs DC without conversion into AC. The conversion process involves from DC to AC and then again to DC. This generates some extra energy losses that could be avoided. A DC grid avoids some conversion steps and results in lower material costs and higher energy efficiency, reducing conversion losses. But Some DC to DC conversions would still be required.
