Data center is one of the important loads in the multi -station integration. A comprehensive comparison between DC and AC power supply architectures is focused to consider the effect of entire power supply modes on data center. Firstly
the typical DC and AC power supply architectures are analyzed. Then
a comprehensive assessment method considering economic
reliability
and controllability is developed. Finally
the comparison of the typical architectures based on the assessment method is applied.The results show that the DC has significant advantages over AC on economic
reliability and controllability. With the development of the DC technologies
the assessment method is supposed to be applied on more scenarios or developed to make more comprehensive and specific comparison.
