“AC versus DC”

TESLA vs. Edison, or in technical jargon, alternating current (AC) vs. direct current (DC).

The preservation of raw materials in our world is unstoppable. Scarcity of raw materials will force us to put everything in the development of sustainable electric power generation, transportation and use of energy.

Amsterdam Innovation Motor (AIM) and the District of Haarlemmermeer is teaming up with the Direct Current Foundation to organize a Direct Current Master Class. This master class will be held on November 9 from 15:30 to 17:30 hrs at the Business Platform.

In this master class you will hear all about the latest developments, opportunities and problems around direct current. In addition, you will meet pioneers on sustainability.

There will also be some Direct Current BV staff members present at this master class as a support team for the Direct Current Foundation.

Over 2000 visitors attended The Innovation Relay in the Van Nelle factory yesterday. It was a big success.

Direct current really held  the spotlight! The post was manned by nine persons from Joulz, Kema, Innosys Delft, Direct Current BV, and The Direct Current Foundation.

The Innovation Relay is THE biennial event of the Club of Maarssen. On this event representatives of the industry, research institutions, and governmental departments, demonstrate the latest sustainable and innovative developments in the fields of environment, mobility, transportation, space and water.

Direct Current BV will be present at this event under the banner of the Direct Current Foundation. On this post, we represent and are the spokesperson for the master plan DC Haarlemmermeer.

Direct Current BV engineered and constructed, in cooperation with the Direct Current Foundation (Stichting Gelijkspanning), the  Master Plan DC Haarlemmermeer. This project has been submitted to the IPIN regulation of EL & I "Experimental Smart grids." Before and during the submission, the following parties have been conferred with: officials concerned of the local council of Haarlemmermeer, the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation, Siemens, the Storage Company Horticulture Netherlands, Direct Current BV, Joulz, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

TESLA vs. EDISON, or in technical jargon, alternating current (AC) vs. direct current (DC). Which form of electric current brings us further into the future? That is the central question on the AC versus DC theme day, which is organized by the association Holtraf (Dutch Transformers Manufacturers) on April 19, 2011 in Nieuwegein.

Direct Current B.V., Delft B.V. InnoSys, and TU Delft, invest, on their own title, in developing a new integrated drive system (drive train), sponsored by EL & I as a part of the HTAS Program by the Government.
