DC Microgrids

As of now we have ca. 22km of 350/700V DC grid operational with our technology. After years of dedicated work, these projects demonstrate the practical application of microgrids using our technology.

Meshed 350/700V DC Microgrid at The Green Village

At The Green Village, located at the Technical University of Delft, DC Opportunities installed a bipolar 350/700V DC microgrid powering street lighting and an EV charger. The meshed grid is powered by solar panels, with energy either stored in batteries or used directly. DC Opportunities’ power converters and solid-state protection ensure seamless integration and reliability, showcasing sustainable energy solutions for the future.

350/700V DC Public Lighting Grid

In partnership with the municipality of Delft, DC Opportunities is upgrading the public lighting system from AC to DC. By implementing innovative DC protection cabinets and advanced solid-state technology, the project ensures efficient, reliable, and sustainable street lighting with enhanced control and monitoring capabilities.

350/700V DC Microgrid Business Park Nieuw Reijerwaard

The Joint Arrangement Nieuw Reijerwaard (GRNR) aims to establish Europe’s most sustainable agro/food logistics park. DC Opportunities is contributing by creating a local 350/700V DC Microgrid, powered by solar energy, to support public lighting, showcasing innovation in energy efficiency and sustainability.

Services

DC Microgrids design & Implementation

Expertise in DC microgrids and low voltage DC systems is readily available to support projects involving DC infrastructure. Whether it’s for public lighting, electric vehicle charging, or renewable energy integration, assistance can be provided in optimizing system design and integrating DC technology. A collaboration can be explored to identify how DC solutions may improve the efficiency and sustainability of your project.

Electronic Product Development

For engineers developing custom DC devices or appliances, guidance is offered in designing and refining products. Whether developing DC-powered electronics or seeking advice on integrating devices into existing DC systems, support is available to help navigate technical challenges. An initial discussion can be arranged to assess how the collaboration may meet specific needs.

About

From Research to Innovation: Our Story

DC Opportunities was founded by Dr. Laurens Mackay, inspired by his research into DC distribution grids at ETH Zurich and TU Delft. His work showed that low-voltage DC systems could play a key role in creating more efficient, flexible, and sustainable energy networks, bringing innovation from the lab to real-world applications.

With this vision, Laurens formed a team of engineers in Delft who shared a common purpose: to grow, innovate, and develop real, working solutions for the energy systems of tomorrow. Today, our focus remains the same – bridging the gap between academic insights and practical engineering, to support the energy transition where it’s most needed.

Who we are

At our core, we are a small and committed team that enjoys working closely with technology, and even closer with each other. We believe that meaningful solutions come from staying practical, asking questions, and keeping the loop between idea and implementation short.

We come from different backgrounds – from academia to fieldwork – but what brings us together is a shared mindset: curious, constructive, proactive, and always ready to prototype, test, and improve. We aim to deliver results clearly, collaboratively, and with purpose.

What we do

At DC Opportunities, we specialize in the development and implementation of advanced DC microgrids and distribution grids. Our expertise lies in:

  • DC Microgrid Design & Implementation: We design and deploy low-voltage DC systems tailored for applications such as public lighting, electric vehicle charging, and renewable energy integration.
  • Electronic Product Development: We design and refine custom DC-powered electronics, ensuring seamless integration into existing DC systems.
  • Research & Development: Collaborating with academic institutions, we innovate and test new DC technologies, bridging the gap between research and real-world applications.

Our solutions are tailored to meet the highest standards of innovation, ensuring reliable energy distribution and smarter infrastructure management. By integrating solar and other renewable sources into our systems, we help drive sustainable development in the energy sector.
