Mobility is evolving with EVs and e-VTOLs. Conventional vehicle designs were mainly focused on the considerations emerging from the vehicle itself like efficiency, emissions, comfort etc and was independent of changes in other technologies like electrical sector. But, EVs have changed the status quo & this change is prompting the vehicle designers to think broader on the larger EV eco-system including electrical grid. Use of DC battery, popularity of DC fast charging & V2X solutions show the importance of DC power systems. Also, key drivers of electric grid indicate a move towards renewables-based DC microgrids. Thus, overall trends in Electrical & Vehicle sectors shows acceptances of DC systems, making its analysis significant. Compared to AC, an important factor in DC systems is circuit protection which is safety critical.
