Energy storage element for high voltage pulse

What is a high-power pulsed power supply?

It constitutes the main body of the pulsed power device, as in almost all parts of the pulsed power device are included. The main feature of high-power pulsed power supply is the slow accumulation of energy at a rather low power before the instantaneous release of high power and large energy.

What are the components of a pulsed power supply?

The pulsed power supply consists of an adjustable DC voltage power supply, E1, a filtering current-limiting inductance, L1, a resonant energy storage capacitor, C1, a feedback diode, DT, of the fast switching thyristor, D1, and a resonant circuit L2 which composes of resonant inductors.

What is a solid-state high voltage high repetitive pulse generator?

Solid-state high voltage high repetitive pulse generators have a broad prospect in various applications. The high power and high-frequency operation of the pulse generator suffer from the massive heat dissipation problem, which limits the improvement of the output parameters and even affects the lifetime.

What is a high-voltage switch in a pulse source?

Besides the PFN, the high-voltage switch is the other critical component in a pulse source. It has to hold off the full charge voltage of the PFN and then switch nanoseconds later at powers that can exceed hundreds of megaWatt.

What is a high-voltage PFL pulse source?

In high-voltage PFL pulse sources, the transmission line that forms the PFN is often a coaxial cable, because these cables are commercially available up to high voltage ratings. Figure 7 shows the operating principle of the single-line pulse source 3 .

What are the parameters of a pulsed power system?

The main parameters of several common switches are as shown in Table 1.2. In the pulsed power system, the high-current pulse is generally characterized by high current peak, short rising time and descent time. The main pulse is barely long but changes rapidly.
