In recent years, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) distribution systems have been proposed to reduce power consumption in telecom and data centers. NTT FACILITIES developed a HVDC distribution system and conducted verification tests of the system at a Tokyo data center from January 2009. This presentation summarizes the results of studies on HVDC distribution systems obtained so far, describes verification tests based on those results, and examines the test results. These test results also validate the HVDC system specifications proposed by the NTT group for standardization and these results may develop the current vigorous discussion of international standardization for HVDC distribution systems.
