Universal input iniversal output power converter

Abstract

We aimed at integrating nearly all power converters to obtain any kind of output for any given input (provided input has sufficient power) by smart switching of relays with the help of microcontroller. To economize the project, components are shared between modules and smart-switching enables the same components to act as different modules at different times. We envisioned about this new type of converter because the power converters available in market provides single conversion process. This makes us purchase different power converters to perform different conversion operations. There are few converters which provide multiple outputs but they too support only single input. We were surprised to find that there is not a single converter in this market which can meet all conversion needs and this motivated us to make this project. The aim of this project is not to build a new type of power supply. Rather it is to integrate all the available converters in an efficient manner while keeping the cost low. This project is not about just connecting various power converter modules with wires. But it is about smart switching between various modules to give desired output for any available input using microcontroller. UiUo Power Converter brings all the available converters in a single modular setup in an efficient manner. No such power converter is available in the market and by making this project we are opening a whole new world of possibilities of conversion with just single module. Our project will provide compact & all-in-one power converter to field research teams or to anyone in need of multiple power conversions.
