WHY ADOPT DC WITH CURRENT/OS
Redefining Energy with DC for a Sustainable Future
Why
Reduced Power EXCHANGES and Smoother AC/DC Integration
Avoid construction delays by reducing reliance on the main grid, reducing peak power exchanges by a factor of 2 to 5*, while enhancing grid stability and resilience.
Why
Self-regulating Microgrids
Eliminate centralized control to balance power and unlock new benefits through devices’ adjustable capabilities.
Why
Resilient Power Quality and Stability
Ensure stable, high quality power for critical activities, even when the main grid is down.
Plug-and-play Safety and Certification
Achieve seamless interoperability for DC systems and DC products, with the assurance of the Current/OS Certification Mark.
Efficiency and Savings Throughout
Save on PV arrays, batteries, cables and electrical equipment. Reduce conversion losses and electronic wastes.
Simplified Design and Integration
Eliminate the need of coordination between electrical and automation specialists, reducing expansion costs
and timelines.
