Smart Wall Outlet Design and Implementation for the DC House Project
… established infrastructure. Unlike AC devices, DC devices do not have any set standard of voltage they all will run off of. This presents a problem for the DC house as the various loads that will be used will have different required input voltages. One set voltage for a wall outlet will not …

Improvements to a Bi-directional Flyback DC-DC Converter for Battery System of the DC House Project
<p>The DC House project relies primarily on renewable energy sources to provide DC power to the various loads of the house. However, not all renewable sources are capable of providing power at all times of the day. A back-up energy source in the form of a battery storage system must be available to …
