Micro-networks technical approaches AC versus DC supply — Consumers testing

The paper has as first objective the overview of the active distribution networks for the future, their viability with existing equipment and components. The presented applications are intended for industrial-type networks with local power generation in view of their efficient integration into an intelligent distribution network. The main scientific goal of the paper is to test the stability issues of the most used low voltage consumers, for both type of power supply AC versus DC and to conclude on the adaptability of the consumers to a DC micro-network. Taking in account the efficiency and quality of the network cases study, will be concluded when and if it is major to use the DC micronetwork power supply.
