R&D Team Lead
As electrification accelerates, the demand for DC-ready infrastructure is growing rapidly. This thesis explores how low-voltage AC systems can be adapted for DC applications. The work includes technical analysis, benchmarking against standards, and evaluation of potential benefits such as efficiency, cost, and safety. The outcome may contribute to future-proofing ABB's product portfolio for the evolving energy landscape. A conceptual MVP may also be developed, depending on the student's interest.
Details
Your role and responsibilities
Explore how ABB's low-voltage AC systems can be adapted for DC applications in areas like distribution, renewables, and microgrids.
Goals
Approach
Start by reviewing existing low-voltage AC systems to identify design principles and limitations for DC adaptation. Conduct a comparative analysis of AC and DC requirements, focusing on safety, thermal performance, and protection strategies. Benchmark potential adaptations against relevant standards. Optionally, propose a conceptual modular DC-ready system and evaluate its benefits.
