Switching


Using inverters is of course a possible solution if DC equipment is not available. However, AC devices are not always designed with power savings in mind. Furthermore, there will be a power loss in the DC to AC inverter, and another power loss in the AC to DC power supply. And devices specifically created for DC tend to be less power hungry. Alas, native DC solutions will be superior post-pole shift. Going for DC instead of AC, taking smaller windmills in consideration, will affect the whole power supply planning. Examples are:

In other words, going for battery supplied DC instead of grid supplied AC will require specialized devices as well as careful planning.
