Simultaneous Transmission of AC and DC Power

ADC Energy, Inc. has announced a new technology uniting ac and dc power on the same wire and capable of operating on existing infrastructure. ADC's technology transmits ac and dc electricity simultaneously on the same wire, allowing clean, safe and efficient transmission of dc energy over long distances. By eliminating the energy wasted in the conversion of ac to dc, ADC claims its technology can accelerate electrical efficiency upwards of 50% in lighting systems, with the potential to approach a net zero system when utilized with renewable energy sources such as solar. ADC recently tested and proved its system can realize a starting 20% savings on heating and air conditioning use.

“Our revolutionary development unifies the existing 130 year dilapidated electric grid which only permits the two currents to operate separately. This separation mandates severe waste in the binary conversion from ac to dc,” stated In S. Kim, President, ADC Energy USA, Inc. “The arcane system in place requires long distance transmission of deadly, high-voltage ac from utility plants to end user. However, the existing system requires wasteful conversion of the ac to dc, because dc is the current used in everyday electronic systems. The outdated system requires use of dangerous ac because dc cannot be transmitted more than a few yards.

“Future applications are abundant, including potentially: long distance transmission of dc current directly from power generators to end user without conversion waste; elimination of all ac convertors in electronics; net zero solar systems; energy storage and emergency back up, and even upgrading the entire electric grid without changing the hardware,” Kim predicted.

Installation of the ADC technology into an end user location (home, commercial, industrial) without any change of existing fuses or wires, using existing ac outlets, ac energy is channeled into the patented ADC Charger Module. Currently each ADC Charger Module utilizes only 480W of electricity. Depending on the quantity of the total load of the location, additional ADC Charger Modules may be added.

The ADC System allows ac and dc current to then be routed on the same wire into an ADC reservoir battery utilizing the patented ADC Charger Module. Once the reservoir battery fills to capacity to operate the ADC system, the system’s 480W per unit ac consumption stops all together. At this point, ADC’s technology is operating on a closed circuit without use of ac.

The stored dc energy is transmitted to the ADC Energy Core Unit (ECU) which powers the patented ADC Booster Unit. The Booster Unit allows clean and efficient dc current to be transmitted over long distances utilizing multiple Booster Units. The stored dc energy is fed directly to power electronics such as lighting without any conversion waste. Several coordinated ADC Booster Units then transmit clean, clear dc current throughout the location (regardless of amount of loads or distances) for use in normal applications.
