The integration of renewable energy (RE) and electric vehicles (EVs) as part of the energy transition primarily occurs through AC/DC converters, as RE and EVs fundamentally operate on DC, while the traditional grid operates on AC. Additionally, there is a need for grid reinforcement to increase hosting capacity. DC grids offer a forward-looking approach, are more efficient, and lead to cost savings. The first DC grid in Flanders was realized through the EU project RE/SOURCED. Despite valuable insights gained from research and this pilot project, obstacles remain. The lack of standardization and design methodologies for DC grids hinders further development. Their implementation requires a specific design approach, fundamentally different from AC grids. This project aims to accelerate the rollout of DC grids by developing software that integrates best-practice guidelines, based on validated models from the RE/SOURCED. DC grid.
