ODCA and CDCA Continue Partnership Efforts

The collaborative meeting focused on strengthening global alignment in Low Voltage Direct Current (LVDC) applications, with a focus on supporting innovation, setting international standards, and developing essential frameworks for sustainable energy systems.

Driving Global Standardization and Alignment in LVDC

During this milestone meeting, representatives from ODCA, CDCA, and DKE engaged in critical discussions around their respective LVDC projects. Each organization shared updates on ongoing activities, mapped current initiatives, and exchanged insights on standardization activities relevant to advancing LVDC adoption. By bringing together expertise from different regions, the groups aim to ensure a seamless, coordinated approach that will facilitate adoption of direct current (DC) solutions globally.

Conducting Needs Analysis and Setting Priorities

A key topic of the meeting was the ongoing needs analysis for LVDC applications, which highlighted the importance of tailored solutions across sectors and regions. This analysis covered current challenges and gaps in LVDC adoption, ranging from technology readiness to policy support and infrastructure needs. Through these insights, ODCA, CDCA, and DKE were able to outline strategic priorities that will be essential in their pursuit of more sustainable and energy-efficient infrastructure globally.

This meeting marked another positive step in the collaboration with CDCA and DKE. Working together, the organizations are able to accelerate theirLVDC goals and set priorities that align across international borders. This unified approach is crucial for the move toward to a more sustainable energy future.

Next Steps in the Partnership

With a roadmap emerging from the collaborative sessions, the three organizations are set to work on immediate next steps, including formalizing a structured cooperation framework and identifying pilot projects where LVDC can make a significant impact. As ODCA, CDCA, and DKE continue to build this partnership, they are inviting other stakeholders from industry, policy, and research to engage in creating a sustainable, DC-focused infrastructure that can respond to the evolving energy demands.
