13. Advantages of DC Power Distribution
• 480 3 Phase: lower peak demand utility rate;
load balance
• Increase Fixture Flexibility (UL): High bay UL
requirements not as stringent
• System Scalability: add; adjust sensor capabilities on
the fly; integrate latest technologies
• Direct PV Integration: no inversion; BOS; simple cost
effective solar integration

16. Problems in Traditional Power System
• Safety: high voltage; need electrician for
installation and maintenance
• Efficiency: require inefficient AC/DC
conversion for DC load
• Distribution: still use mechanical switches with long
response time; high short circuit current; no remote control
• Integration: need DC/AC conversion to ingrate PV or
battery into the system.
