The SHIFT2DC project initiative is led by the Portuguese Research & Innovation Institute INESC-ID in collaboration with 32 other partner institutions from 13 institutions across Europe. The Kickoff Meeting<\/a> was held in Lisbon in December 2023.<\/p>\n The project aims to transform how DC solutions are used in our power systems. To do so, the consortia will establish comprehensive guidelines and a roadmap for the widespread application of DC in diverse energy scenarios.<\/p>\n Hugo Morais from INESC-ID, the Project Coordinator, said that DC can offer significant advantages when compared to AC solutions in specific situations.<\/p>\n He explained: \u201cThroughout the SHIFT2DC project, we will evaluate DC solutions in four applications: data centres, ports, industry, and buildings. In these contexts, specific DC technologies and tools will be implemented.<\/p>\n \u201cA comprehensive cost-benefit analysis will be conducted for each application, enabling the assessment of the proposed solutions\u2019 advantages.<\/p>\n \u201cThe activities within the project will also contribute to standardisation, harmonisation, and the proposal of guidelines for adopting DC solutions.\u201d<\/p>\nThe benefits of direct current solutions<\/h3>\n
