On November 22, the 4th international "Estonian DC Innovation Workshop" will be again organized by i3DC initiative. This event will bring together experts from academia and industry, market practitioners, and policymakers. International speakers from industry and academia will introduce and discuss the latest developments and innovation potential in the field of residential direct current (DC) microgrids.
Unlike traditional alternating current (AC) systems, DC-based power distribution systems have no frequency stability or reactive power issues and feature cheaper realization. Using DC, the energy is processed in fewer steps, thus reducing power loss and simplifying the integration and interaction of photovoltaic panels and battery energy storages compared to AC.
If used correctly, applying the DC power distribution allows the energy efficiency of buildings to be increased by up to 18%. Moreover, the DC-based power distribution can significantly improve resilience, provide demand-side flexibility, and facilitate energy arbitrage of residential buildings, making them future-proof and compatible with energy transition targets.
Event starts at kl. 10:00 and ends at 17:00.
Workshop is organized by Academician Dmitri Vinnikov
Location: Tallinna Tehnikaülikooli Mektory EnergyHub, Raja 15, 12618 Tallinn, Estonia
Registration for the event is until there are available slots only.
It is also possible to take part in the event via Zoom without coming to the venue, registration.
