| Abstract | The {&}{\#}x201C;War of the Currents{&}{\#}x201D; has raged since the 1880s and has been revitalised with the move to widespread use of computers and communications, low energy LED lighting and renewable energy generators. {&}{\#}x201C;Project Edison: SMARTDC{&}{\#}x201D; is a demonstration project using a DC (Direct Current) smart supply network for ICT and lighting at the University of Bath, UK. A centralised AC/DC converter provides power through a low voltage distribution system to an array of computers and monitors which are part of the library's education support facilities. This bulk DC network provides a secure supply for individual computers and monitors together with several advantages for the AC power network. |
