DC Microgrids

Advanced Power Distribution Platforms

for Flexibility, Savings & Sustainability in Buildings
VISION: DC MICROGRI DS FOR BUILDINGS
The EMerge Alliance vision is:
- An open architecture
- Reduction or elimination of ac to dc conversions between power sources and digital
devices
- Power conversion and distribution in dc form
- DC power as a key component for zero net energy buildings
-
on-site dc generation sources such as solar photovoltaics, wind, and other alternative
sources
- A modular approach for incremental standards application in one or more areas of
hybrid powered buildings

A direct current (dc) power
standard focused on interior
occupied space applications
in commercial buildings.
A direct current (dc)
power standard
focused on commer-
cial data center and
telecommunication
applications.
A planned direct current
(dc) power standard
focused on commercial
building service applica-
tions such as HVAC, motor
loads, pumps, etc.
A planned direct current (dc)
power standard focused on
building exterior applications
such as architectural lighting,
security, and electric vehicle
(EV) charging.

we belleve that ongolng and lncreaslng demand for lmproved rellablllty and energy
emclency across all areas of commerclal bulldlngs provldes the need for the LMerge
Alllance famlly of power dlstrlbutlon standards.
QUICK FACTS
- Non-prot, open lndustry assoclatlon
- More than l00 member organlzatlons
- Promotes the adoptlon of safe dc power dlstrlbutlon through the development of technlcal
appllcatlon standards
- Porms a famlly of appllcatlon/area-speclc dc mlcrogrlds that, when lnterconnected, create a reslllent
and versatlle bulldlng or campus energy network. Lach seml-autonomous mlcrogrld can operate
wlth or wlthout the need for connectlvlty to a hlgher-order supervlslng mlcrogrld
- Open standards lntegrate power, lnfrastructure, perlpherals, and controls ln common
mlcrogrld platforms
- LMerge Alllance appllcatlons standards:
- LMerge Alllance Occupled Space Standard
- LMerge Alllance Data/Telecom Center Standard
- Provldes an onllne reglstry for commerclal prod-
ucts that can be specled for LMerge Alllance
standards
- Promotes dc mlcrogrld technology though
strateglc lndustry partnershlps and partlclpatlon
ln professlonal englneerlng trade forums
- Asslsts ln the deployment of pro[ects
demonstratlng use of LMerge Alllance Standards
