New ABB and BCG Report Highlights Growing Role of Direct Current Technologies in Future Power Systems
ABB today published a new report, The Strategic Case for Hybrid AC/DC Power: Shaping the Transition to the Next Electrical Architecture, developed in collaboration with Boston Consulting Group (BCG).
ABB and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) have released a report titled "The Strategic Case for Hybrid AC/DC Power: Shaping the Transition to the Next Electrical Architecture." The report emphasizes that direct current (DC) technology is evolving from the periphery to the core of industrial, commercial, and digital infrastructure. Business decisions made in the next two to three years will determine who leads this transition.
The report argues that the future of power distribution is not a binary choice between AC and DC, but a hybrid system that leverages the strengths of both technologies. While AC will continue to be the backbone of most transmission and regional distribution networks, DC is set to play an increasingly important role in facilities where many major energy sources and loads already operate natively on DC.
