Nexans is happy to announce its membership to the <\/strong>Current\/OS Foundation<\/strong><\/a>, a non-profit, open and independent foundation for the promotion and adoption of active direct current (DC) microgrids.<\/strong><\/h1>\n <\/p>\n Make the transition to DC-powered buildings a reality<\/strong><\/p>\n Cables are a fundamental part of a building’s electrical infrastructure in the transition to DC-powered structures: Nexans is committed to design and manufacture cable systems that are compatible and optimized with future DC building infrastructures.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n DC is a game-changer in tomorrow’s energy transition<\/strong><\/p>\n Max-Andr\u00e9 Delannoy, Group Technical & Innovation VP at Nexans, explains : “we already live in a DC world: electronic devices, solar generation, battery energy storage systems, LED lighting, electric vehicles, ventilation and air-conditioning systems are all DC-powered. But all these devices are interfaced by AC\/DC converters that introduce significant losses during conversion. DC is a game-changer in tomorrow’s energy transition for a more efficient, smarter electrical infrastructure. It is essential for Nexans to better understand such architecture and its deployment in buildings, to develop the most suitable cable solution. Joining Current\/OS and leveraging Nexans\u2019s expertise, we are helping to make the vision of smart, connected, sustainable DC-powered structures a reality.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n <\/p>\n Towards unified standards and codes<\/strong><\/p>\n Several challenges need to be addressed for the adoption of DC-powered buildings to become widespread. One of the significant challenges is the uptake by industry professionals who have extensive knowledge and experience in AC power. It will take a collective effort by industry leaders, manufacturers, and regulators to educate and train professionals on DC-powered infrastructure.<\/p>\n In addition, building standards and codes need to be built to address specifications for DC-powered devices. This will ensure that buildings are designed and constructed with DC infrastructure in mind and that the safety and performance requirements for DC-powered devices are met.<\/p>\n The Foundation was set up to assure the availability of the Current\/OS Set of Rules to any product manufacturer. It aims to come to a unified standard for DC microgrid control purposes. The Foundation provides its partners with an open set of rules and clear guidelines on how to manufacture products that work in a Current\/OS based DC environment.<\/p>\n By joining the Foundation, Nexans is showing its commitment to innovate to make possible the transition to more efficient electrical systems.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unleashing the power of DC buildings<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n With the global demand for electricity expected to increase 20% by 2030 and the increasing pressure to transition to renewables, the War of the Currents is once again in the spotlight.<\/p>\n Read the article<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=’bg_wt_rc’]<\/p>\n More information on Nexans:<\/strong> See the full profile on EMR Executive Services<\/a><\/p>\n More information on Christopher Gu\u00e9rin (Chief Executive Officer, Nexans + President, Europacable): <\/strong>See the full profile on EMR Executive Services<\/a><\/p>\n More information on Max-Andr\u00e9 Delannoy (Vice President, Group Technical & Innovation, Nexans):<\/strong> See the full profile on EMR Executive Services<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
