Development of Portable Automatic Dual Power Backup System for Continuous Operation in Kalinga Colleges of Science and Technology Incorporated

Abstract

This study presents the design, development, and implementation of a Portable Automatic Dual Power Backup System with WIFI Controller for the Registrar or Cashier Office of Kalinga Colleges of Science and Technology, Inc. (KCSTI). Frequent power interruptions disrupt critical operations such as record management, enrollment processing, and financial transactions, while increasing the risk of data loss and equipment damage.

To address this problem, the system integrates grid electricity, solar energy, and battery storage to ensure a continuous and reliable power supply. If features an Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) That detects outages and automatically transfers the load to an available power source, ensuring seamless operation and protecting sensitive devices. The battery backup can sustain essential operations for up to two hours when other sources are unavailable.

The system also incorporates a WIFI controller for real-time monitoring and remote control, allowing users to track power usage, battery status, and operating mode via mobile devices. Overall, the system enhances reliability, energy efficiency, and sustainability, providing a cost-effective solution to maintain uninterrupted office operations and improve productivity.
