Abstract
The war of currents between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) is decades old. The DC has proved itself in the fields of generation and transmission; now it is making its way at distribution level in quite an efficient fashion. The DC seems to be challenging the AC, as a result of efficient DC to DC as well as to and from AC conversion with the development of efficient power electronic converters. This paper presents efficiency comparison of the two paradigms for a residential colony. The model is separately simulated for AC and DC supply from the grid keeping the infrastructure for both schemes unchanged. The residential loads are divided in to three categories depending upon their supply requirements. The loads are further classified according to their time of usage during the whole day. The efficiency comparison between AC and DC system is established on the basis of daily load variation.
