6 FAQs about [Microgrid in road lighting applications]

What are DC lighting and building microgrids?

Direct current (DC) electricity has the potential to improve the resiliency, reliability, and energy efficiency of building systems, specifically in the context of DC lighting and building microgrids.

Can LED lighting be connected to a DC microgrid?

LED lighting can be connected to a DC building microgrid as it is a potentially easy and available DC-based building load. PNNL’s research assessed the current availability and characteristics of both DC lighting and DC microgrid controller technologies.

How does a building microgrid function?

In a traditional building microgrid, the utility grid supplies AC electricity that is distributed to building equipment and outlets. On-site PV panels and energy storage batteries generate and store energy as DC, but they must convert this power into AC to connect to the building’s electrical system.

Does a DC microgrid save energy in a building?

Although an efficiency savings of 10–18% for a DC lighting and building microgrid is significant, it saves energy by aligning the DC microgrid voltage with the voltage(s) accepted by other building loads. Lighting is not the only possible DC load.

What is a DC building Microgrid controller?

A DC building Microgrid controller is designed to produce a specific DC voltage to power DC building loads. The voltage produced is typically 380 V DC.

What is a DC lighting & microgrid RFI?

The RFI aimed to characterize availability and trends in the technical aspects of DC lighting and microgrid products and systems. It also sought qualitative analyses of the opportunities and challenges facing the industry. The RFI was released on April 23, 2020, and received 46 responses over 9 weeks.
