Global Medium Voltage Direct Current Market Strategic Research Report

Scope of the Report

The global Medium Voltage Direct Current market size is predicted to grow from US$ 20.13 million in 2025 to US$ 241 million in 2032; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 43.0% from 2026 to 2032.

Medium Voltage Direct Current (MVDC) is a technology that converts medium voltage power from 1.5kV to 100kV into direct current. Compared with AC power transmission, it has the advantage of less energy loss, so it has attracted much attention as a next-generation power supply method. In particular, if MVDC is applied to large electric propulsion ships, the overall efficiency of electric energy can be improved by up to 20% compared to the existing AC power system.

MVAC grid and MVDC grid will be in coexistence for significant time in future power distribution systems. The system benefits of implementing MVDC grids vary for different applications. For utility distribution system applications, the main benefits are high power supply capability of DC circuits, power flow control flexibility and allowing higher penetration of DERs, while the main benefits for industrial electrification and renewable integration are reduced investments and/or increased efficiency.

In recent years, medium voltage direct current (MVDC) has been widely used in electric propulsion, rail transit, offshore wind farms, smart grids and other fields. In the field of ship propulsion, the integrated power system (IPS) that deeply integrates power and power technology has become the focus of research in various countries. Its core idea is to use electric energy as the basic energy form and realize the dynamic allocation of load energy demand through an integrated energy management platform. The IPS using the MVDC technology route has the advantages of simple structure and high flexibility, which is conducive to reducing power loss, improving transmission efficiency, facilitating alternative energy, energy storage, weapon system integration, and optimizing the overall system performance. It represents the development direction of the field of ship propulsion.

MVDC distribution systems will be deployed at the renewable sector to fulfil the requirements set out in the grid code or connection codes, such as the reactive power control (and the voltage control) on the connected busbar. With the help of MVDC distribution networks, power flow can be controlled in a wide range of conditions and made possible to implement widely. The requirement to maintain a secure, reliable and economical MVDC distribution network has seen increasing activities in both engineering developments, such as hardware design (e.g. new topology of the converter; solid-state transformer); and commercial innovation, such as the planning and design of MVDC networks and the integrated function of a synchronous condenser and STATCOM to provide frequency support. Therefore, it is very likely that MVDC distribution systems will be an integral section of power systems in the near future.
