Abstract :
This paper presents a macroscopic comparison between the global energy efficiency of DC and AC local microgrid in urban areas. Aiming to reduce multiple energy conversions and based on an industrial photovoltaic inverter efficiency obtained experimentally, the technical feasibility results lead to DC network distribution for building-integrated DC microgrid.
