Direct Current in the Low-Voltage Range Standardization Roadmap

The objective of the German Direct Current in the Low-Voltage Range Standardization Roadmap is to combine the technical state-of-the-art and recommendations for action and requirements to meet the need for solutions for the use of direct current systems.

Core topics of the standardization roadmap

New and innovative applications in the field of energy efficiency and electromobility require new solutions for the use of direct current systems. This also applies to building installations in which a direct current infrastructure could be implemented alongside the alternating voltage network to, for instance, decrease losses in individual power supply units. This is precisely where the German Direct Current in the Low-Voltage Range Standardization Roadmap starts.

Energy

It is just a big a topic in everyday conversation and societal discourse as it is at DKE: everyone is talking about energy. Our standardization experts don’t just provide their knowledge to make the supply and distribution of energy “smart” and decentralized in the future, they also make an equally large contribution toward the operation of electrical systems and the wide-scale distribution of renewable energies.
