The latest developments in dc transformer technology are enabling larger and more complex dc power distribution systems. However, the literature is scarce regarding the investigation and quantification of its impact on the dc grid. Therefore, this paper analyses the impact of the dc transformer location on the system’s characteristics to provide enough information to predict the system performances for future dc grids. To determine the critical resonant frequencies of the system, the power converters outer control loop dynamic are included to provide a better representation in frequency domain, and enable its evaluation for the addition of new equipment to the power distribution network. The proposed solution has an expansible methodology, allowing its application in large systems and easy impedance response assessment. Moreover, the proposed solution is independent of the ac grid backup solutions, allowing the dc power distribution network planning to deal only with the dc variables. Finally, theoretical developments are validated using simulations, and the steady-state and impedance identification process is described in detail.
