DC Power Distribution for Net-Zero Buildings Brings New Opportunities and Challenges

Many corporations are committed to meeting strict emissions goals to achieve net-zero or near-net-zero status in the coming years. Onsite microgrids comprised of renewable energy sources and battery energy storage systems are becoming increasingly promising solutions, and while a building can reach net-zero status by generating renewable energy through an onsite microgrid, a DC power infrastructure that distributes DC power from an onsite microgrid can make it easier—depending on a building’s feasibility.
