Abstract

This paper presents a hybrid AC/DC home infrastructure which involves DC distribution network connected to the current AC infrastructure using through an efficient ac/dc controlled converter. DC network in the home allows for efficient integration of renewable sources and electric vehicles supplying all the native DC loads (DC appliances). While the AC loads (AC appliances) will continue to be connected to an existing AC infrastructure. To mitigate harmonics, providing a power factor correction and compensating for unbalances resulting from nonlinear loads.
