Create a new rule in udev by opening the terminal and using:
gksu gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-ac-unplugged.rules
(If you are using Ubuntu 18.04 or a newer version gksu will not be available by default. In that situation please refer this question or use the above command as sudo -H gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/50-ac-unplugged.rules)
Put in the following line:
SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", ENV{POWER_SUPPLY_ONLINE}=="0", RUN+="/sbin/shutdown now"
Save the file and then restart udev services with:
sudo udevadm control --reload-rules
Save all your work and unplug your power supply.
