Abstract
A Direct Connect Homegrid (DC-Homegrid) system for Direct Current (DC) power control and delivery into a structure by way of Unifying Electrical Interface (UEI) platforms is here presented. By means of the Homegrid, multiple self-contained approaches are introduced to keep a structure powered with DC, either as a substitute or as a supplement to the conventional Alternating Current (AC) source. By the illustrated approaches contained herein, a new methodology permitting to retain power operation in the occurrence of a blackout, due to natural disaster, cyber-attack or any other conventional AC grid failure, is revealed. Such DC-Homegrid is envisioned to become the precursor in establishing the DC infrastructure of the future. The embodiments presented in this patent illustrate alternate methods for achieving power independence while increasing the value for adoption of renewable and sustainable energy.
