Abstract
MeshPower Limited will investigate potential markets for innovative smart-grid technologies on DC microgrids and their associated potential market size. Smart-grid technologies are well established for AC grids but there are currently no off-the-shelf solutions for DC microgrids. We believe smart-grid technologies for DC microgrids will be a substantial market in the future as DC microgrid applications such as: off-grid electrification; replacing unreliable conventional grid connections; telecoms towers; and localised use within the developed world as customers demand a more reliable and secure energy supply
