Introduction: This lightning talk gives an overview of the factors relevant to the trade between AC and DC high voltage long distance transmission on the Lunar surface, particularly those factors unique to the Lunar surface.
This lightning talk gives an overview of the findings of the NASA funded Extreme Environment Power Systems Standards Evaluation and Gap Analysis. This document highlighted the gaps between terrestrial distribution system component standards and future lunar distribution system component standards. This shows that existing standards cannot be applied with small modifications for the lunar environment.
