MVDC

The Voltage Ceiling: 1500V DC and the MVDC question (DC-DC Supplement C)

The perimeter-conversion stage faces a voltage-ceiling decision that will shape 2028-2032 facility architecture: hold at 800V DC, step to 1500V DC, or reach for MVDC at 5-15 kV. Each has different copper savings, standards readiness, vendor availability, and retrofit paths.
