  • Abstract
    This paper presents new ideas for re-using ATX PC power supplies. By successive and light modifications of the existing architecture, without any new PCB, these second-hand items can be used almost readily as power electronic converters in simple and limited power renewable energy systems. Developing countries are particularly targeted.
