Improvement of circuit oscillation generated by underwater high voltage pulse discharges based on pulse power thyristor

High voltage fracturing technology was widely used in the field of reservoir reconstruction due to its advantages of being clean, pollution-free, and high-efficiency. However, high-frequency circuit oscillation occurs during the underwater high voltage pulse discharge process, which brings security risks to the stability of the pulse fracturing system. In order to solve this problem, an underwater pulse power discharge system was established, the circuit oscillation generation conditions were analyzed and the circuit oscillation suppression method was proposed. Firstly, the system structure was introduced and the charging model of the energy storage capacitor was established by the state space average method. Next, the electrode high-voltage breakdown model was established through COMSOL software, the electrode breakdown process was analyzed according to the electron density distribution image, and the plasma channel impedance was estimated based on the conductivity simulation results. Then the underwater pulse power discharge process and the circuit oscillation generation condition were analyzed, and the circuit oscillation suppression strategy of using the thyristor to replace the gas spark switch was proposed. Finally, laboratory experiments were carried out to verify the precision of the theoretical model and the suppression effect of circuit oscillation. The experimental results show that the voltage variation of the energy storage capacitor, the impedance change of the pulse power discharge process, and the equivalent circuit in each discharge stage were consistent with the theoretical model. The proposed oscillation suppression strategy cannot only prevent the damage caused by circuit oscillation but also reduce the damping oscillation time by77.1%, which can greatly improve the stability of the system. This research has potential application value in the field of underwater pulse power discharge for reservoir reconstruction.

Experimental observation of a multirhythmic pattern in chains of Rossler circuits

The influence of parameter mismatches on multirhythmic patterns in chains of coupled Rossler circuits are explored experimentally. The parameter mismatches in coupled chaotic oscillators are found to help form a kind of multirhythmic pattern as reported in chains of biological coupled oscillators [Phys. Rev. Lett. 92 228102]. Moreover, a new type of multirhythmic pattern based on the envelope of time series is observed.

A Comparative Study of Analytical Solutions to the Coupled Van-der-Pol’s Non-linear Circuits Using the He’s Method(HPEM)and(BPES)

In this paper, the He’s parameter-expanding method (HPEM) and the 4q-Boubaker Polynomials Expansion Scheme (BPES) are used in order to obtain analytical solutions to the non-linear modified Van der Pol’s oscillating circuit equation. The resolution protocols are applied to the ordinary Van der Pol equation, which annexed to conjoint delayed feedback and delay-related damping terms. The results are plotted, and compared with exact solutions proposed elsewhere, in order to evaluate accuracy.

High voltage generator circuit with low power and high efficiency applied in EEPROM

This paper presents a low power and high efficiency high voltage generator circuit embedded in electrically erasable programmable read-only memory（EEPROM）.The low power is minimized by a capacitance divider circuit and a regulator circuit using the controlling clock switch technique.The high efficiency is dependent on the zero threshold voltage（V_（th）） MOSFET and the charge transfer switch（CTS） charge pump.The proposed high voltage generator circuit has been implemented in a 0.35μm EEPROM CMOS process.Measured results show that the proposed high voltage generator circuit has a low power consumption of about 150.48μW and a higher pumping efficiency（83.3%） than previously reported circuits.This high voltage generator circuit can also be widely used in low-power flash devices due to its high efficiency and low power dissipation.
