Abstract

This paper presents an overview of power quality in low-voltage DC distribution networks. We study which of the power quality disturbances in AC networks are also relevant in DC networks, as well as other disturbances specific to DC networks. The paper reviews the current status of international regulations in this topic and proposes different indices for the detection and characterization of the main types of power quality disturbances, presenting some results obtained in different laboratory tests in DC networks using different DC voltage shapes delivered by different DC power source types.
