DC-POWER

Welcome to the third Newsletter of DC-POWER Project

As we reach the 18-month milestone in the DC-POWER journey, we’re excited to share the latest highlights, progress, and upcoming activities from across the consortium.

Project progress

The DC-POWER team is moving at full speed ahead in preparation for the first reporting period. Here are a few key updates:
  • ARCEL is finalising the mechanical design and has officially launched production as of early June. The system is designed for an output voltage of 380V and 500 kW power.
     
  • AEGPS is making steady progress and remains confident in completing the lab prototype on schedule.
     

New Data Center pilot site

We are pleased to welcome Synapsecom Telecoms S.A. as a new key partner in the DC-POWER project! As the project's new data center site demonstrator, Synapsecom will lead the testing and validation of the innovative D3bus technology, aimed at boosting energy efficiency in data centers.

With its strong background in telecommunications and IT, and stakeholders from Cyprus and Greece, Synapsecom brings valuable expertise to the project. Their pilot site will play a central role in demonstrating how sustainable energy solutions can power the digital infrastructure of tomorrow. We’re excited about this collaboration and the important contributions Synapsecom will make toward smarter, greener data centers.
 

Collaboration with EU projects

  • Meeting with a sister project Shift2dc (17 March 2025, online). The DC-POWER and SHIFT2DC teams met for the first time. This productive session explored shared priorities, such as DC grid architecture, grounding, and protection schemes. The exchange marked the start of ongoing collaboration, with further joint activities planned to accelerate innovation.
     
  • THEUS-led collaboration group: DC-POWER also takes part in a broader cooperation network including similar projects (HYNET, InterSCADA, TIGON, HYPERRIDE, PROSECCO, HVDC-WISE, DAEDALOS, InterOPERA) designed to promote mutual visibility and exchange among related initiatives.
     

Public events

In the last months, the DC-POWER project has been presented at:
  • PCIM 2025 (7 May 2025, Nuremberg, Germany). Presentation by Arcel 
     

Upcoming events

Looking ahead, DC-POWER will be presented at two major events this autumn:
  • DC=IN 25 hosted by the partner IFE THOWL (17-18 September, Lemgo, Germany)
     
  • Enlit Europe 2025 (18-20 November, Bilbao, Spain) in the EU funded projects zone.
