The Necessity for LVDC Power in Home Entertainment Michael Stelts, IEC TC100 1 1
Agenda Home entertainment runs on DC power IEC work on LVDC Panasonic’s perspective
Multimedia Products Run on DC External AC/DC converter (AC adapters) Internal AC/DC converter Internal/External AC/DC converter with Battery
DC Power for Products Saves Energy Grid Distribution Equipment Equipment AC Utility AC120V AC wiring Low DC P.S. 30% Loss Equipment DC AC Utility AC120V efficient converter DC wiring Low DC 8%Loss Ps converter 2%Loss AC adaptors for each product are eliminated Conversion loss is decreased by batch feeding DC power
Small Efficiency Improvements Matter 115M US households (Census Bureau estimate) 8hr/day US household viewing (OECD, 2005) 180W 40” LCD (Sony, 2011) Roughly 166 GW·hr/day consumed by US TVs. If DC distribution saves 8%, that’s 13 GW·hr/day. Nearest power utility to meeting: Potomac River Station Nameplate capacity = 514MW Output/day = 12.3GW·hr/day Energy savings > plant output
Power Generation is Migrating to DC • Renewable energy systems • Solar power • Fuel cells • Reserve Power • Home battery storage • PEV storage Household generation uses DC Household products use DC
DC Sources Create Greater Efficiency Now: Many AC/DC converters Energy Generators AV Equipment DC⇒AC AC ⇒DC DC ⇒AC AC ⇒DC AC ⇒DC AC ⇒DC AC ⇒DC Battery AC ⇒DC Goal: Direct DC distribution AV Equipment Energy Generators AC ⇒DC Battery DC AC
LVDC for Entertainment Systems 42” LCD:188W DVD:28W (energy saving efficiency catalogue, METI, Japan) • Upper limit = 60V to eliminate shock hazard* • Lower limit = 24V for SSL lighting** • High voltage needed for longer wire runs Example home entertainment system • 1.6A @120VAC • 4.5A @48VDC • 9.0A @24VDC • 43A @5VDC *IEC 60065, **EMerge Alliance specification
48VDC is the Sweet Spot 42” LCD:188W DVD:28W (energy saving efficiency catalogue, METI, Japan) Avoids shock hazards Maximize length of wiring runs Easily create 2 x 24V busses Home entertainmentrunning at 48V, 4.5A
DC Distribution Infrastructure Infrastructure for low power equipment AVequipment PV DC Distribution with high-efficiency AC/DC converter Voltage:48V or less DC Outlet Battery other equipment Infrastructure for high power equipment Voltage:300V-400V White goods, etc. AC Infrastructure (existing)
More LVDC Benefits Opportunity for common worldwide standard Products can be smaller AC adaptors can be eliminated Improved safety – no shock hazard Smaller carbon footprint
Home Entertainment Summary • Home entertainment runs on DC power • Standardization creates great benefits • One plug worldwide • One common input voltage • Reduced shock hazard • Small efficiency improvements are significant,due to the number of entertainment products • Efficiency significantly reduces carbon footprint • Eliminates wall warts and the waste they create

AC Adapter Standardization in IEC TC100 PT 62700 is developing an LVDC power supply standard • Scope • Unify AC/DC adapter for Laptop PC by defining DC voltage and its connector shape. • Benefits • Fewer AC adaptors is good for the environment • Reduce product cost by reusing adapters • Simplifies sales and inventory • PT 62700 is important work; but, it also demonstrates a need for the long-term solution – LVDC
Difficulties in Standardizing AC Adaptors • AC adaptors are designed for specific products, creating an extra layer of complexity • Matching in-rush current of product to adaptor • IEC 60950-1 may be insufficient for leakage current • AC adapter temperature • EMC fluctuations as load changes • Harmonizing safety standards • Some manufacturers used the same AC adaptor on products for years, slightly reducing the benefit • By standardizing LVDC, everyone can design their products to one common power source
