This study proposes a current source-type pulse generator to improve output voltage and current waveforms under a capacitively coupled plasma (CCP) system. The proposed circuit comprises two parallel-connected current source-type converters. These converters can satisfy the required output waveforms of plasma processing. The parallel-connected converters operate without reverse current fault by applying a time-delay control technique. Conventional voltage source converters based on pulse power supply exhibit drawbacks in short-circuit current, and problems occur when they are applied to a CCP system. The proposed pulse power supply based on a current source converter fundamentally solves the short-circuit current problem. Therefore, this topology can improve the voltage and current accuracy of a CCP system.

정확하게 control된 pulse의 용도는 과학과 공업이 발달될수록 날로 많아져 가고 있는데 그의 일부는 대전력을 취급하는 경우로서, Radar에 대한 응용을 들 수 있다. 한편, 요지음 gallium-arsenide등 반도체 diode를 사용해서 Laser action을 일으킬 수 있다는것이 발견되어 G.E. 및 IBM등에서 개발되고 있다. 이 경우에, continuous emission도 가능하지만 흔히, intermittent operation을 시켜야 할 때가 많기 때문에 timed pulse source가 필요하게 된다. 또 한편, spot welding의 경우에도 이러한 pulse source가 필요하게 된다. 이들을 크게 나누어 source를 AC로 할 경우와 DC로 할 경우가 있는데, 전자의 경우는 thyratron을 사용할 경우가 많게 될 것이다. DC의 경우나 AC의 경우에나 잘 shape되고 time된 pulse source를 만들어 놓으면 진공관이나 thyratron이나 같은 모양으로 drive할 수 (thyratron의 경우는 trigger)있을 것이기 때문에, 이러한 pulse source를 만들 필요가 있게 된다.

This paper proposes a new configuration of 36-pulse voltage source converter which consists of two 6-pulse bridges and a pulse-interleaving auxiliary circuit. The system topology of proposed converter was derived to increase the pulse number of converter output voltage without increasing the number of 6-pulse bridges. The gate pulse generation was analyzed using the theoretical approach of multi-pulse switching converter, The operational feasibility of proposed system was verified by computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software and experimental works with 2kVA hardware prototype. The proposed converter can be widely used for the uninterruptible power supply, the power quality compensator, and the distributed power generation, such as solar and fuel cell power system.

A study on the hybrid micro power source for the IMT2000 application has been presented. The hybrid micro power source is composed of solar cell, super-capacitor and battery. To compensate for the pulse loader of the IMT2000 application, the super-capacitor is connected through the lithium-lon battery to absorb the pulse discharge current. The solar cell provides the additional current to compensate for the depleted current and it is controlled to operate at the maximum power point voltage. A novel maximum power point tracking method is presented to operate at the pulse discharge load conditions and verified to have superior tracking performance through experiment. The controller design for the hybrid micro power source has been presented and verified through experiment.

For carnation productivity improvement, compact-low cost discharge lamp type ozonizer using pulse power source is designed and manufactured. This paper describes the discharge characteristics and the ozone generation characteristics with variation of the output voltage of pulse power source, the quantity of flowing air and the operating number of ozonizer. The important conclusions are as follows. The discharge voltage and current values are proportional to the output voltage of pulse power source. The ozone concentration and generation are proportional to the output voltage of pulse power source and the number of ozonizer. The maximum value of the ozone concentration and generation of the discharge lamp type ozonizer can be obtained 890[ppm] and 59.7[mg/h] respectively. In the carnation productivity house, when the discharge lamp type ozonizer is used the carnation is good quality in the uniformity of the carnation stalk thickness and increased the productivity through improvement of the air and the soil.

A prototype long pulse ion source was developed, and the beam extraction experiments of the ion source were carried out at the Neutral Beam Test Stand (NBTS) of the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR). The ion source consists of a magnetic bucket plasma generator, with multi-pole cusp fields, and a set of tetrode accelerators with circular apertures. Design requirements for the ion source were a 120kV/65A deuterium beam and a 300 s pulse length. Arc discharges of the plasma generator were controlled by using the emission-limited mode, in turn controlled by the applied heating voltage of the cathode filaments. Stable and efficient arc plasmas with a maximum arc power of 100 kW were produced using the constant power mode operation of an arc power supply. A maximum ion density of $8.3{\times}10^{11}\;cm^{-3}$ was obtained by using electrostatic probes, and an optimum arc efficiency of 0.46 A/kW was estimated. The accelerating and decelerating voltages were applied repeatedly, using the re-triggering mode operation of the high voltage switches during a beam pulse, when beam disruptions occurred. The decelerating voltage was always applied prior to the accelerating voltage, to suppress effectively the back-streaming electrons produced at the time of an initial beam formation, by the pre-programmed fast-switch control system. A maximum beam power of 0.9 MW (i.e. $70\;kV{\times}12.5\;A$) with hydrogen was measured for a pulse duration of 0.8 s. Optimum beam perveance, deduced from the ratio of the gradient grid current to the total beam current, was $0.7\;{\mu}perv$. Stable beams for a long pulse duration of $5{\sim}10\;s$ were tested at low accelerating voltages.
