Proceedings ArticleDOI
Assessment of the feasibility of interconnected smart DC homes in a DC microgrid to reduce utility costs of low income households
TL;DR: In this article, a community DC microgrid in an urban environment is analyzed, where up to 9 renovated dwellings are equipped with a smart DC power panel for loads such as LED lights, fans and air conditioning while a portion of loads will remain AC with an AC/DC converter interface between the loads.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
System specification for a DC community microgrid and living laboratory embedded in an urban environment
TL;DR: In this paper, a community DC microgrid is proposed that is embedded within an urban neighborhood in an underserved community in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, which is a proving ground for residential DC power distribution and sharing of renewable energy resources.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Fault characterization and protective system design for a residential DC microgrid
TL;DR: This paper addresses discrimination of sudden short circuit faults using an ultra-fast normally-on Silicon Carbide (SiC) Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET)-SiC based solid state circuit breaker (SSCB).
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Fault discrimination using SiC JFET based self-powered solid state circuit breakers in a residential DC community microgrid
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of ultra-fast SiC JFET based self-powered solid state circuit breakers (SSCBs) as the enabling protective device for a 340Vdc residential DC community microgrid is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Circuit Fault Discrimination Using SiC JFET-Based Self-Powered Solid-State Circuit Breakers in a Residential DC Community Microgrid
TL;DR: This article identifies and validates the use of ultrafast silicon carbide (SiC) junction field effect transistor (JFET)-based self-powered solid-state circuit breakers (SSCBs) as the enabling protective device for a 340 Vdc residential dc community microgrid.
