Abstract

This study reviews the substitution potential of distributed energy interfaces for traditional power adapters using a multidimensional framework. The findings reveal scenario-dependent viability: proven feasibility in low-power fixed applications; however, efficiency, cost, and infrastructure barriers persist in high-power mobile contexts. Future power systems are projected to adopt layered architectures in which universal distributed interfaces coexist with specialized high-performance adapters, offering theoretical guidance for technological evolution and industrial planning.
