Abstract :
The present development state in DC distributed power systems (DPS) is comprehensively reviewed in this tutorial. Basic distributed structures and their characteristics are described. The system level design considerations are discussed. The profile of current technologies is drawn. Finally, the issues and challenges in this research area are identified. These issues include not only improving efficiency, but also increased concerns regarding the cost and complexity of power supplying systems.
