Design and simulation of smart sockets for domestic DC distribution

Abstract

The increase of demand for power generation over the years has led to several developments of technology in modern society. One such demand urbanized is dc bus utilisation. Advantages of dc over ac have put forward the idea of renewable energy integration with smart house system. Energy efficiency, low cost, improved reliability and smaller footprint has made dc distribution dominant over ac distribution for future smart houses. This paper gives detailed methodology for generation of dc voltage for different household applications.
