Abstract :
Electricity distribution technology is taking remarkable step by implementing the low-voltage DC-technology (LVDC) to the distribution networks. The first installations of this economical, transmission capacity and power quality increasing innovation in public electricity distribution will be done in coming years. Recent research results shows that there are remarkable potential and strategic role for LVDC technology in distribution networks, especially in rural areas.
