The world is becoming increasingly electric. Electricity is more than ever, the energy of the 21st century: it is the most efficient energy and the best vector for decarbonization. Innovation is part of Schneider Electric’s DNA and teams are constantly assessing promising trends and technologies that can help to make energy safe, reliable, efficient, sustainable, open and connected. Direct current in electrical distribution is one such area.

世界正變得越來越電氣化。電是21世紀的最佳能源：它是最有效的能源，也是脫碳的最佳載體。創新是施耐德電氣DNA的一部分，團隊一直在評估有前途的趨勢和技術，這些技術有助于使能源安全、可靠、高效、可持續、開放和互聯。配電中的直流電就是這樣一個領域。

With the acquisition of DC Systems, Schneider Electric is consolidating its portfolio, to offer customers increased simplicity and resiliency for relevant applications such as building microgrids in unreliable public grid environments, or long-distance applications such as public lighting.

通過收購DC Systems，施耐德電氣正在鞏固其產品組合，為客戶提供更簡單和更靈活的相關應用，例如在不可靠的公共電網環境中構建微電網，或是公共照明等長距離應用。

“Schneider Electric has always been at the forefront of innovation,” said Nadège Petit, EVP of Schneider Electric’s Power Products Business. “This new acquisition aligns closely with our Company Purpose to empower all to make the most of their energy and resources. Furthermore, it reinforces our commitment to provide efficient and resilient solutions for microgrids in buildings, among other applications”.

施耐德電氣電源產品業務執行副總裁Nadège Petit表示：“施耐德電氣一直處于創新的最前沿，這一新收購契合我們的公司宗旨，就是賦能所有人對能源和資源的最大化利用。此外，它進一步鞏固了我們為建筑物中的微電網提供高效且靈活解決方案的承諾。”

DC Systems has an established track record in developing hybrid AC/DC electrical distribution systems for microgrids, and its DNA has been built on the deployment of real-life projects. With several years of  experience in the field, DC Systems is recognized for being one of the first organizations to have made a “100% DC-electrified building”, namely the Amsterdam based “Circl building”. DC Systems has also provided DC electrical solutions for more than 300 kilometers of public road lighting, as well as for several commercial buildings across Europe. All of these projects were realized thanks to its existing ecosystems of contractors and integrators.

DC Systems在研發用于微電網的混合交流/DC配電系統方面有著良好記錄，其核心理念建立在現實項目的部署上。憑借在該領域的多年經驗，DC Systems被公認為是首批建造“百分百直流電氣化建筑”的機構之一，即位于阿姆斯特丹的“Circl大樓”。DC Systems還為300多公里的公共道路照明以及歐洲的一些商業建筑提供了直流電氣解決方案。所有這些項目的實現都得益于其承包商和集成商的現有生態系統。

“In Schneider Electric we have found a like-minded partner with a shared vision, who, like us, is committed to delivering superior energy solutions, based on an open ecosystem, that offer tangible benefits for all,” said Harry Stokman, founder of DC Systems. “I look forward to tackling the energy challenge together.”

“在施耐德電氣，我們找到了一個志同道合的伙伴，我們有著一致的愿景，基于開放的生態系統，共同致力于提供卓越的能源解決方案，為所有人帶來實實在在的收益，” DC Systems創始人Harry Stokman說道。“我期待著我們一起攜手應對能源挑戰。”
