| Abstract |
Historically 220V/50Hz or 110V/60Hz have become the standard for power distribution in residential and commercial buildings. During the past decades the number of electronic appliances increased rapidly, and the state of art is currently that almost all consumer equipment contain electronics. Electronic circuits prefer DC supplies and the sinusoidal line voltage complicates the construction of power supplies, since rectifiers cause current distortion and EMI problems. Thus, this report investigates the suitability of different waveforms for the residential power network of the future. Three alternative voltage wave forms have been studied. These are a DC voltage, a 20kHz square wave voltage and a 50Hz square wave voltage. It bas been investigated whether these systems are compatible to the present mains and to todays appliances and consumer products. A power conditioner is described which is capable to provide the considered waveforms. Finally some measurements have been taken to illustrate the performance of alternative distribution systems. |
