Abstract :
This paper advances the concept that it may be both possible and advantageous to eliminate the traditional direct current distribution system from a new generating station. The latest developments in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) technology are what have made this option technically feasible. A traditional DC distribution system is compared to an AC distribution system supplied by a UPS to investigate the merits of the proposed approach
