Abstract

This project aims a feasibility study and analysis of implementation DC homes. The study and analysis addresses electronic power distribution systems for the residential applications, from renewable energy system along with the electrical vehicle technologies implementation as well as the envisioned structure and operation of DC home addressing all system components chosen as an inherent part of the future electrical architecture. The feasibility analysis should explore its benefits and advantages for the electrical systems of the future homes that can easy impact not only residential, but also into the micro-grid and grid.
