DC-POWER

Welcome to the second Newsletter of DC-POWER Project

One year into the DC-POWER journey, we’re thrilled to share updates on the team’s accomplishments and activities over the past year.

Third General Assembly - Last activities

Last week, the DC-POWER consortium came together in the picturesque city of Prague, Czech Republic, for the third General Assembly.
This gathering marked an important milestone in the project, bringing together the partners from diverse sectors to exchange insights, discuss progress, and shape the path forward.
While general topics were part of the agenda, the spotlight was on the exciting advancements being made in the development of the Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) system.

Each partner, leveraging their unique expertise, provided updates on their contributions to the project. These include significant progress in the development of key components such as the appliance driver, protection system, energy storage system, converters, and the energy management system. At the same time, the consortium is making headway in system modelling and integration, ensuring that all elements of the MVDC system work seamlessly together.
Preparations are well underway for the first lab test, and later this year, a prototype will bring our collective vision one step closer to reality.

New Electrolyser pilot site

Adding to this momentum, McPhy’s s Gigafactory in Belfort has been proposed as a new pilot site for testing the MVDC system.
This facility, featuring a 250 kWp PV installation, offers an ideal environment to demonstrate the potential of our innovative technology in real-world conditions.

The consortium is excited about this development, as it represents a significant opportunity to validate the system’s capabilities and gather valuable insights.

Events

In parallel with the advancement of DC-POWER activities, the project has been presented at:
  • EU PVSEC 2024 (September 23–27, 2024, Vienna, Austria) - Poster
  • Markt & Technik DC Konferenz (October 23, 2024, Munich, Germany)
  • ENERGAIA at CEA booth (December 11, 2024, Montpellier, France)
In addition to public events, DC-POWER is organising a meeting with its sister project, Shift2DC, in the first quarter of the year. This collaborative exchange will provide an opportunity to share insights, discuss progress, and learn from each other’s experiences.
