Selective Source AC/DC Power Supply Authors: Charles Wright, Reza Ahmadi, Amshumaan Raghunatha Kashyap, Anagha Rayachoti, Alberto Berrueta Irigoyen, and Jonathan W. Kimball - faculty author/advisor Missouri University of Science and TechnologyIn an effort to improve efficiency, the Missouri S&T Solar House Team is exploring the idea ofusing a household DC electrical circuit which uses power directly from the solar panels. Thiswould bypass conversion losses both at the inverter and in household components that rectify ACto DC current internally, therefore saving energy and money. The approach taken was to developa power converter that will allow power
