Optimization and Application of DC Power Grids: Making Power Transmission More Efficient and Intelligent

Abstract

With the rapid popularization of clean energy sources such as solar and wind power, how to efficiently and stably transmit these energy sources has become a major challenge. Traditional alternating current (AC) power grids (such as the ordinary power grids at home) are gradually becoming inadequate in long-distance power transmission and control flexibility. At this time, DC power grids (which can be understood as power networks that transmit electricity using "direct current") have become the "new favorite" for power system upgrades due to their advantages of low losses and flexible control. This article uses plain language to introduce you to the optimization technologies, practical applications, and future development directions of DC power grids, and see how it makes our electricity use more efficient and environmentally friendly.
