Annual direct current distribution network implementation revenues expected to reach US$5.1 billion in 2024, says firm

While large, centralized power plants are expected to continue to play a role in providing alternating current (AC) power to the wholesale macrogrid, there is growing momentum at the electric service distribution level to diversify power offerings and pursue solutions incorporating a growing proportion of direct current (DC). The industry's current focus is on medium-voltage DC distribution networks-systems that are mostly concentrated on the data center market segment, but that can also apply to commercial buildings. According to a new report from Navigant Research, global DC distribution network implementation revenues are expected to grow from US$2.8 billion in 2015 to US$5.1 billion in 2024.
