At the time of the division’s creation in 2011, many of the components necessary to implement a 380V direct current (dc) system were not available. Today, STARLINE DC Solutions can provide a Chip2Grid registered and EMerge Alliance registered power delivery system from the UPS through the input to the computer. Efforts contributing to this milestone include being a key contributor to the EMerge Alliance standards and marketing committees, and leading the collaborative effort to create a 380V dc standard for data/telecom centers. Additionally, the division has assisted the Green Grid and SCTE organizations with evaluating the use of 380V dc for their members, and has authored and co-authored many white papers on the topic, including a comprehensive paper comparing ac and dc architectures.
