A compact 210-kV, 10-kJ/s heavy-duty capacitor charger is described. One possible application is solids fragmentation. The charger has universal three-phase input. Pulse repetition rate (PRR) can be from single shot to 250 Hz, depending on the storage capacitance. Energy dosing (ED) topology [1] was chosen. It facilitates high wall-pug efficiency of typically 92% at switching frequency of up...

This work reports on theoretical studies for an isolated CLC resonant DC-DC converter to generate high voltage regulated including of a control system. The converter is based on a full bridge structure using Mosfets as switching devices. The output stage of the DC-DC converter is built using series-connected lower voltage modules. The proposed topology is based on DC-DC converter operating and...

PROTO-SPHERA can be considered as the first tokamak with a simply connected configuration, namely without external components (as the central coil) inside the plasma volume. The tokamak-like shape is obtained by the self-organization of a plasma arc (pinch) in a cylindrical vacuum vessel, resulting in a minimal aspect ratio with a high confinement efficiency.

In order to generate high voltage high pulsed power, klystron modulators necessarily contain at least one capacitor bank charging structure supplying the energy to be released during the pulse. Conventional charging structures are based on AC/DC front-end units typically based on diode rectifiers combined with on/off power charging as a second stage, producing prohibitive levels of grid...

Power electronic loads are being connected to the distributed power plants through power electronic converters and these power electronic converters and loads are the source of harmonics and reactive power which affects the performance of the power system network. Switching compensators called Active filters or active power line conditioners brings an effective alternative to the conventional...

Increasing ship-board power demand coupled with environmental sustainability initiatives has created interest in pursuing all-electric ships (AES) for both commercial and military applications. AES can be equipped with power electronic components, loads, machines, and cables. Many electric generator topologies can be used for AES. Permanent-magnetic synchronous generator (PMSG) is the most...

Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) recently completed and delivered a 400 kVDC, 400 mA power supply for a commercial client. The 160 kW average power supply is comprised of 16 25 kV modules arranged in a vertical, air-insulated stack. Electrically, the system is a Cockcroft-Walton cascade multiplier fed by a standard DTI high power, high voltage inverter.
