Abstract

The primary objective of this paper is to present a road map plan for the design, simulation, and analysis of a universal switch-mode supply adapter.  This adapter can be used to connect AC or DC power supplies to AC or DC loads. There are adapters available for various household appliances, laptops, and other electronic devices. The need for a universal power supply adapter comes when the electrical power supply needs to be converted in order to meet input the requirements of the load.

This paper focuses on the design and simulation of a universal power supply adapter with the primary aim of powering DC and AC loads using a solar cell to charge a 24V battery as a primary source and the AC line voltage as a secondary source. In order to achieve the desired result, this design requires the universal power supply adapter to have three main design components: a switch-mode power supply, a switch-mode DC to DC regulator, and an inverter.  Photovoltaic panels are used as the primary DC power sources of the system with a battery for energy storage, and the DC to AC inverter to feed AC loads.  This paper focuses of the design, simulation, and analysis of these three components.
