When planning a new factory, the energy concept can’t be an afterthought, it must be built in from day one. The shift away from fossil fuels toward full electrification simplifies installation but increases power demand.
That’s where industrial DC microgrids come in. By consistently using DC supply, conversion losses are minimized, efficiency rises, and new opportunities open up for smarter energy management. But this transition also brings new challenges: switching components, EMS design, and a rethinking of traditional approaches.
In this webinar, we will look at why DC microgrids are becoming essential for industrial power, how they compare to conventional AC systems, and what practical steps are needed for both greenfield and brownfield projects. We will also place a special focus on energy management systems (EMS).
Highlights include
- Why DC power supply is gaining importance in industry
- Advantages of DC compared to AC
- The role of energy management systems (EMS) in DC setups
- Why new switching components are needed
- What to consider for both new (greenfield) and existing (brownfield) sites
Key Takeaways
- First steps for DC planning in industrial projects
- What technology transfer really means in practice
- New technical requirements you need to be aware of
- Practical guidance for:
> Working without clear technical standards
> Handling gaps in component availability
> Managing when EMS software isn’t yet available - Where you can get support (planning, EMS, and more)
