High voltage pulse power supply using Marx generator and solid-state switches is proposed in this study. The Marx generator is composed of 12 stages and each stage is made of IGBT stack, two diode stacks, and capacitor. To charge the capacitors of each stage in parallel, inductive charging method is used and this method results in high efficiency and high repetition rates. It can generate the pulse voltage with the following parameters: Voltage: up to 120kv Rising time: sub ${\mu}S$ Pulse width: up to $10{\mu}S$, Pulse repetition rate: 1000pps The proposed pulsed power generator uses IGBT stack with a simple driver and has modular design. So this system structure gives compactness and easiness to implement total system. Some experimental results are included to verify the system performances in this paper.

본 논문에서는 펄스전원장치에 고전압을 공급하기 위한 DC 전원장치의 개발에 관해 다룬다. 제작된 DC 전원장치는 공진형 컨버터에 배전압 정류기를 채택하여 높은 전압이득과 전력 밀도를 가진다. 특히, 정류다이오드의 전압 균등화를 위해 사용하는 커패시터를 병렬공진 커패시터로 활용함으로써, 사용되는 소자의 수를 최소화하며 높은 신뢰성을 얻을 수 있다. 또한, 두개의 공진주파수로 인해 공진전류가 사각파 형태가 되어 낮은 도통손실을 가진다. 제안된 회로를 이론적으로 분석하고, 그 타당성을 실험으로 검증한다.

Electromagnetic analysis has been made for the design of 3 MJ Compulsator (Compensated Pulsed Alternator, CPA) that will be used as the power supply system of the electrothermal-chemical launcher system. using finite element method with ANSYS/Emag. From the analysis results, it was possible to decide the excitation MMF and the rotor/stator size to obtain the desired output current. And using electromagnetic forces from the analysis results. the stresses on the components of 3 MJ CPA could be analyzed. The detailed design based on the analysis results has been made and the fabrication of 3 MJ CPA is in progress. Before assembling components into 3 MJ CPA. an experiment is being made to check the correspondence between analysis results and measurements.

In this paper, the new technology and R&D status is presented, which accelerates the projectile using the electrical energy to overcome the limit of the conventional gun. The ETC (electro_thermal_chemical) gun, one kind of electric guns, seems to be the highly probable candidate as the next generation gun. The high density power supply and the forming and control of the current pulse are required to develop the ETC gun. And, the interior ballistics considered the mechanism of ETC gun must to be studied.

This paper describes an all solid-state switch pulse generator for various applications where square pulse voltage is required. The pulse generator produces various voltage pulses: voltage $5{\sim}100kV$. current $10{\sim}200A$, pulse width $1{\sim}10{\mu}sec$, repetition rate up to 500Hz. The output power is the combination of these parameters up to 10kW. It consists of a DC-DC converter and several pulse generating modules which are connected in series to obtain higher pulse voltage. Each module contains semiconductor switches (IGBT's), energy storage capacitors and control units to trigger switches. The structure and operational principle are described and the protection circuit for reliable operation is suggested. Experimental results show that the pulse generator can be used for applications with nonlinear loads.

An MgO thin film sputtering system for the PDP (Plasma Display Panel) applications has been developed. This system was manufactured with a vertical In-Line type of 42 inch, which has the length of 520 mm and the width of 900 mm. A reactive magnetron discharge for this sputtering was generated using an unipolar pulsed power supply which has functions of constant voltage (Max. 500 V) and current (Max. 15 A) control, frequency of $10{\sim}100$ kHz and duty ratio of $10{\sim}60$ %. The experiment was conducted under various conditions : $3{\sim}10$ mTorr of pressure, the ratio of $O_2$/Ar = $0.1{\sim}0.5$, 50 % of duty and power of $0.5{\sim}1.7$ kW. From the experiment, the deposition rate of a static state and a moving state were measured to be about 45 nm/min and 6 nm m/min at the distance of 50 mm between the target and the substrate, respectively.

This study explores the use of a bulk type high-temperature superconductors (HTS) as trapped field magnets in synchronous motors. A HTS bulk is examined for its ability to generate powerful magnetic fields over a permanent magnet and to eliminate the need for a direct power supply connection compared to a tape form of HTS. A 150 kW interior-mounted bulk-type superconducting synchronous motor is designed and analyzed. The A-H formulation is used to numerical analysis. The results show superior electrical performance and weight reduction when comparing the designed model with the conventional permanent magnet synchronous motor of the same topology. This study presents HTS bulk synchronous motor's overall design process and highlights its potential in achieving relatively high power density than conventional permanent magnet synchronous motor.

This paper describes a novel ac/dc power converter suitable for frequent output short-circuit faults. The output dc power of the proposed converter can be disconnected from the load within several hundred microseconds at the instant of short-circuit fault. The rising time of the dc load voltage is as small as several hundred microseconds, and there Is no overshoot of the dc voltage because the dc output fillet capacitors stay at a undischarged state. The proposed converter has the characteristics of a simplified structure, reduced cost, weight, and volume compared to the conventional power supplies for frequent output short-circuit. Analysis, simulations, and experiments are carried out to investigate the operation and usefulness of the proposed scheme.

A lab-scale test was carried out to study the reduction of electrical energy consumption in the pulsed corona discharge process for nitrogen oxides removal. The experiment was mainly focused on 1) the activation of pollution removal reactions by chemical additives and 2) the optimization of electrical circuit for the efficient energy transfer from the power supply to the corona reactor. Hydrocarbon chemical additives used in the experiment are thought to be responsible for the enhancement of the NO conversion through the chain reactions of free radicals such as, R, RCO, and RO. Electrical energy consumption per converted NO molecule has a minimum value of 17 eV when pentanol is injected. When ethylene and propylene are injected, 30 eV and 22 eV of electrical energy consumption is required for the conversion of NO molecule respectively. The ratio of the pulse forming capacitance$(C_e)$ to the reactor capacitance$(C_R)$ plays an important role in the energy transfer efficiency to the reactor. Maximum energy transfer efficiency of approximately 72% could be obtained by using the pulse forming capacitance which is 3.4 times larger than the reactor capacitance, and also the maximum NO conversion efficiency was observed with the same condition.
