DC industry2: DC networks with central conversion could be established as an energy-saving alternative, especially for drives in production.. (Bild: Lapp)

Newly developed DC lines could transmit five gigawatts of power over a route width of just six meters - overhead lines require routes that are around 60 meters wide for much lower outputs. (Gregor Rynkowski / TU Darmstadt)

The Wardenclyffe Tower on Long Island in the USA, built in 1901, was demolished in 1917 due to lack of money. (Gemeinfrei)

DC connectors: DC connectors are now standardized for data centers. The GP21 from Schurter is the first commercially available device connector for 400 V DC systems up to 2.6 kW according to IEC TS 62735-1. (Source: Schurter)

Figure 1: The stationary electrical energy storage system for peak load reduction at Fraunhofer IISB in Erlangen was developed as part of the Bavarian energy research project SEEDs and integrated into the institute's own direct current grid. A software tool developed in the SEEDs project is available for the design of electrical storage devices and for the simulation of smoothed load profiles.. (Source: Kurt Fuchs/Fraunhofer IISB)
