A generator of high-power nanosecond pulses consisting of four stages that are switched on in a relay-race mode is described. Each stage contains a storage capacitor with an operating voltage of 8 kV and an assembly of series-connected shock-ionized dynistors. The possibility of switching current pulses with an amplitude of 800 А to a load of 30 Ω...

... generator was investigated under natural cooling conditions at a repetition rate of output pulses of 100 Hz. The load had the form of an assembly of lowinductance resistors and had a resistance of ~30 Ω. Figure 3 shows the voltage waveforms at the SID 1 assembly (Fig. 3a) and at the triggering capacitors С cnt1 , С cnt2 , and С cnt3 (Figs. 3b-3d, respectively) that were measured with a Tektronix P6015A probe. ...

... waveform in Fig. 3a indicates that the voltage across the SID 1 unit increases to a triggering value of ~19 kV within a time of ~2.5 ns, which causes it to switch very quickly to the high-conductivity state. It can be seen from the waveforms in Figs. 3b-3d that the capacitors С cnt1 -С cnt3 in the initial state are charged to a voltage of 8 kV. A short ...

It can be seen from the waveforms in Figs. 3b-3d that the capacitors С cnt1 -С cnt3 in the initial state are charged to a voltage of 8 kV. A short voltage surge is due to their additional charging by the CC output current in the SID 1 enabling process. After SID 1 -SID 4 are enabled, the discharge currents of the capacitors С 01 -С 04 branch to C cnt1 -С cnt3 . As a result, C cnt1 -С ...

Negative capacitance (NC) effects in ferroelectrics can potentially break fundamental limits of power dissipation known as “Boltzmann tyranny.” However, the origin of transient NC of ferroelectrics, which is attributed to two different mechanisms involving free-energy landscape and nucleation, is under intense debate. Here, we report the coexistenc...

This paper investigates the impact of grading capacitors on transient recovery voltage (TRV) during shunt reactor switching in high voltage systems, considering different levels of current chopping. Shunt reactor de-energization can result in voltage surges and instability due to current chopping effects. The study utilizes simulation models using...

This paper presents a 13-level switched capacitor inverter with a novel modulation method designed to minimize the number of switches and significantly reduce switching losses. The inverter stands out for its simplicity, requiring only ten semiconductor switches to generate 13 levels. A key feature is the inherent self-voltage balancing of the capa...

The reactive voltage control of conventional substations is mainly realized by adjusting the switching of capacitors or reactors and changing the transformer ratio, which can only be controlled discretely. The PV inverter can carry out continuous reactive power control, and the reactive voltage control strategy of the conventional substation does n...

The T-type three-level inverter has been widely applied in grid integration system due to its salient features. In this paper, a three-phase four-wire T-type inverter is employed as an active power filter. Due to inconsistencies of capacitances and unbalanced three-phase operation, the capacitor voltages deviate. These unbalanced capacitor voltages...
