Abstract The employment of renewable energy systems (RES) such as wind energy systems and photovoltaic (PV) systems is increasing in electrical networks. The integration of these RESs and the other types of distributed generations (DGs) has introduced new opportunities and challenges in conventional distribution networks. Most renewable energy-based DGs are interfaced to alternating current (AC) grids through power electronic converters that include an AC-to-DC conversion stage. Therefore using direct current (DC) distribution systems can contribute to reduce the total cost and loss of the system, as the power conversion stages are decreased. On the other hand, consequent to the recent developments in power electronics devices, new efficient converters have developed that facilitate the construction of DC switchgears and networks. Consequently, due to the advantages of DC distribution systems, they have attracted considerable attention over the last few years and they are introduced as an alternative for AC systems in future commercial and industrial grids. Besides the advantages of DC networks, there are serious concerns about their worldwide usage. Protection, control, and network designing are the main key issues associated with these grids. In this chapter, the specifications of DC distribution networks and their advantages for DGs integration are described. Furthermore, the issues related to the protection and control of these networks and the already presented solutions are discussed. The chapter also includes several numerical examples to facilitate the understanding of the presented concepts. © 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
