Abstract
Development of the medium and low voltage DC distribution system is of great significance to a regional transmission of electric energy, increasing a penetration rate of new energy, and enhancing a safety of the operation of the AC/DC interconnected grid. This paper first summarizes the medium and low voltage DC distribution system schemes and plans put forward by many countries, and then elaborate status of under-construction medium and low voltage DC distribution system project cases in China. Based on these project cases, this paper analyzes key issues involved in the medium and low voltage DC distribution system topologies, equipment, operation control technologies and DC fault protections, in order to provide theoretical and technical reference for future medium and low voltage DC distribution system-related projects. Finally, this paper combines a current China research status to summarize and give a prediction about the future research direction of medium and low voltage DC distribution system, which can provide reference for the research of medium and low voltage DC distribution system.
