Experiment and Operation of a LHCD-35kV/2.8MW/1000s High-Voltage Power Supply on HT-7 Tokamak

A -35 kV/2.8 MW/1000s high-voltage power supply (HVPS) for HT-7 superconducting tokamak has been built successfully. The HVPS is scheduled to run on a 2.45 GHz/1 MW lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) [1] system of HT-7 superconducting tokamak before the set-up of HT-7 superconducting tokamak in 2003. The HVPS has a series of advantages such as good steady and dynamic response, logical computer program controlling the HVPS without any fault, operational panel and experimental board for data acquisition, which both are grounded distinctively in a normative way to protect the main body of HVPS along with its attached equipments from dangers. Electric power cables and other control cables are disposed reasonably, to prevent signals from magnetic interference and ensure the precision of signal transfer.This paper involves the experiment and operation of a 35 kV/2.8 MW/1000s HVPS [2] for 2.45 GHz/1 MW LHCD system. The reliability and feasibility of the HVPS has been demonstrated in comparison with experimental results of original design and simulation data.

Design and Simulation of a Electrorheological(ER) Control High Voltage Power Supply

Few applications with electrorheological （ER） fluids have been found in industry. One reason is high voltage power supplies cannot meet the requirement for ER effect. In this paper, an ER control high voltage power supply for engineering application was designed which reduced power wastage by adopting soft switch technology; lessened its volume to satisfy micromation when adopting the planar transformer and improved its response character- istic by choosing an assistant discharging circuit. Simultaneously, a simulation analysis has been carried out. As results, the output voltage of this high voltage power supply is 5 kV, and the voltage can be continuously regulated and the voltage ripple is only 0. 7 %, so the requirement of stability is also achieved.

The Design of PSM-Based ECRH Power Supply Control System

Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) system is one of the most important Tokamak auxiliary heating methods. However, there are growing demands for ECRH system as the physical experiments progress which meanwhile adds the difficulty of designing and building the control system of its power source. In this paper, the method of designing a control system based on Single Chip Microcomputer (SCM) and Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is introduced according to its main requirements. The experimental results show that the control system in this paper achieves the conversion of different working modes, gets exact timing, and realizes the failure protection in 10us thus can be used in the ECRH system.

A new shunt DC active filter of power supply in a steady high magnetic field facility

A DC active power filter is an indispensable part in a high power and high stability power supply system, especially in the power supply system of the Steady High Magnetic Field Facility, which requires that the current ripple should be limited to 50 parts per million. In view of the disadvantages of the series DC active power filter and shunt Pulse Width Modulation DC active filter, this paper puts forward a novel DC active filter by combining the advantages of the transistor regulator and the shunt type. The structure and principle of the new shunt linear active filter are introduced. Meanwhile, the design of several key components that construct the new shunt linear active filter is also analyzed. The simulation model and an experimental prototype of the shunt linear active filter are developed, and the results verify that the parameter design is reasonable and the shunt active filter has a good filter effect.

Purpose The high energy photon source(HEPS)uses the on-axial injection scheme.There are two designs in this injection scheme that are critical to the performance of the HEPS injection system.One is the strip line kicker and another is the high voltage fast pulse power supply system.In the high voltage fast pulse power supply system,the design of high voltage power supply is very important.The output voltage stability of high voltage power supply directly affects the stability of the pulse amplitude of the injection system.Methods A high voltage power supply with high output voltage stability is designed in this paper,and the scheme is given.The correctness of the design scheme is verified by simulation experiments.Result A prototype is built for full test.The test results showed that the output voltage stability is lower than 58 ppm.The output voltage is 6.4 mV(f≤3 kHz)/113.2 mV(f>3 kHz).Conclusions The designed high voltage power supply can fully meet the requirements of the HEPS injection system.

An extremely low power voltage reference with high PSRR for power-aware ASICs

An extremely low power voltage reference without resistors is presented for power-aware ASICs. In order to reduce the power dissipation, an Oguey current reference source is used to reduce the static current; a cascode current mirror is used to increase the power supply rejection ratio （PSRR） and reduce the line sensitivity of the circuit. The voltage reference is fabricated in SMIC 0.18μm CMOS process. The measured results for the voltage reference demonstrate that the temperature coefficient of the voltage is 66 ppm/℃ in a range from 25 to 100 ℃. The line sensitivity is 0.9% in a supply voltage range of 1.8 to 3,3 V, and PSRR is -49 dB at 100 Hz. The power dissipation is 200 nW. The chip area is 0.01 mm2. The circuit can be used as an elementary circuit block for power-aware ASICs.

Experimental Investigation of the Effects of Various Plasma Actuator Configurations on Lift and Drag Coefficients of a Circular Cylinder Including the Effects of Electrodes

In this paper, the effects of the existence of plasma actuator electrodes and also various configurations of the actuator for controlling the flow field around a circular cylinder are experimentally investigated. The cylinder is made of PVC （Polyvinyl Chloride） and considered as a dielectric barrier. Two electrodes are fiush-mounted on the surface of the cylinder and are connected to a DC high voltage power supply lbr generation of electrical discharge. Pressure distribution results show that the existence of the electrodes and also the plasma are able to change the pressure distribution around the cylinder and consequently the lili and drag coefficients. It is found that the effect of the existence of the electrodes is comparable with the effect of plasma actuator in con- trolling the flow field around the cylinder and this effect is not reported by other researchers. Eventually it is concluded that the existence of the electrodes or any extra obiects on the cylinder and also the existence of the plasma are capable of changing the flow field structure around the cylinder so that the behavior of the lift and drag coefficients of the cylinder will be changed significantly.
