16. Traditional Power System
Inside Building
…………………………………………………………………………….……………………..

17. Problems in Traditional Power System
• Safety: high voltage; need electrician for
installation and maintenance
• Efficiency: require inefficient AC/DC
conversion for DC load
• Distribution: still use mechanical switches with long
response time; high short circuit current; no remote control
• Integration: need DC/AC conversion to ingrate PV or
battery into the system.
