Unprecedented expansion of native direct current (DC) powered equipment (computers, telecoms, data centers, consumer electronics) has increased global electricity consumption by 27% over the past decade. In US/Canada, over 800 TWh of DC energy is consumed every year, producing an associated 550 tons of harmful carbon emissions. DC electricity usage is projected to increase even further with the addition of 20 million DC-powered electric vehicles (EV) by 2020, putting a significant burden on a century-old power infrastructure.

在过去的十年中，本地直流电流（DC）动力设备（计算机，电信，数据中心，消费电子产品）的空前扩展增加了27％。在美国/加拿大，每年消耗超过800个DC能源，产生相关的550吨有害碳排放。直到2020年，DC电力使用量将进一步增加，到2020年增加了2000万电动汽车（EV），这给一个百年历史的电力基础设施带来了重大负担。
