Workstream 3 - Converters & enabling technologies
Objective:
The objective of this workstream is to enable proliferation of DC grids within AC grids by addressing technologies and control mechanisms for different forms of power electronic converters:
a) The DC networks are connected to AC via converter terminals that essentially convert AC power into DC power and vice versa.
b) DC-DC converters enable change in DC voltage levels.
c) Converters utilised in ancillary circuits are DC breakers using enabling technologies.
