Abstract
This paper analyzes the feasibility of direct current for the supply of offices and commercial facilities. This is done by analyzing a case study, i.e. the supply to a university department. Voltage drop calculations have been carried out for different voltage levels. A back-up system for reliable power supply is designed based on commercially available batteries. Finally, an economic evaluation of AC vs. DC is performed.
