Abstract
Efficiencies of potential line and load converter topologies and their AC-filter inductors for a bipolar low voltage direct current (LVDC) 1500V distribution are compared. The LVDC distribution is a new low voltage distribution concept which is one possibility to realize the future smart grid. The target of the system is high cost-efficiency and reliability. Efficiencies of the converters and filters are analyzed by simulation and analytical calculations and with two different customers load characteristics to find out the total losses during a year.
