The Netherlands Direct Current Foundation

Electrification is one of the main challenges facing society today. Our modern world demands more and more from traditional electricity networks and infrastructure.

An energy transition is needed. And direct current (DC) is an essential part of this transition. From the humble USB-C connector to green energy production on a national scale, DC offers help for modern energy challenges.

Stichting Gelijkspanning Nederland is committed to DC as an integral component of a new, sustainable world: providing better energy management, clean production and smarter consumption.

Webinar (6) on 16 October at 15:00: Direct current and congestion management

In this webinar, Ronald and Henry engaged in an interview-style discussion with Peter van Duijsen and Diego Zuidervliet.

This webinar focused on the topic "direct voltage and congestion management", with both technical, and social aspects.

For existing AC grids, congestion management is also known as voltage regulation or droop control.

In DC grids, how do we deal with sudden surpluses or shortages of energy?

How controllable is energy supply and demand?

The interesting interview can be watched back on youtube
