DC microgrids offer significant benefits over traditional AC power systems. Both AC and DC currents are used across the energy distribution network. Renewable energy sources also. . Microgrids are an emerging technology that combines the power flow management advantages of smart grids with smaller, decentralized energy generation. This approach moves power generation closer to where it is consumed for a more resilient, localized option to promote energy independence. . However, a new concept is emerging, as the electrical distribution networks characterized by DC transmission are beginning to be considered as a promising solution due to technological advances. These systems can vary greatly in size and power, from small islands with several motors on a shared DC bus up to large-scale applications, such as entire factories or data centers with combined loads. .
