Performance Evaluation of DC Microgrid System for Residential LED Lighting Application

This paper proposes LED lighting applications DC microgrid system with compact LED lamps system for residential. Conventionally, the residential lighting system used the supply from the authorized energy supplier to power up all the electrical appliances at home. In Malaysia, the voltage distributed...

In Malaysia, the voltage distributed to residential area is 240V AC. However, most of electrical appliances at home are not driven in AC.
