Pulse power initial energy storage

How is pulsed power produced?

Pulsed power is produced by transferring a primary stored energy to a load quickly. Though chemical energy sources such as batteries or explosives or kinetic energy sources such as generators may be used as the primary stored electrical energy, in fact, capacitors and inductors are the most common methods.

What is a pulsed power system?

In the pulsed power system, the high-current pulse is generally characterized by high current peak, short rising time and descent time. The main pulse is barely long but changes rapidly. In this case, pulsed current measurement is one of the key pulsed power technologies, Fig. 1.3 shows the following diagram of pulsed current measurement system.

What is a pulsed power generator?

Pulsed power generators using magnetic pulse compression circuits have become popular both for research in the bioelectric field and for industrial applications of pulsed power. Pulsed power generators using inductive energy storage and opening semiconductor switches are able to generate pulsed power with a nanosecond or subnanosecond pulse width.

How much energy does a 100 ns pulse produce?

Though pulsed power reaches 1 GW, which corresponds to the output of a power plant, the energy in the case of 100 ns pulse width is only 100 J, which is small enough to heat 1 cm 3 water to only about 24 °C. Therefore, while the power of the pulses is extremely high, their energy is moderately low.

What is a high-power pulsed power supply?

It constitutes the main body of the pulsed power device, as in almost all parts of the pulsed power device are included. The main feature of high-power pulsed power supply is the slow accumulation of energy at a rather low power before the instantaneous release of high power and large energy.

What is capacitance transducing inductive energy storage pulsed power system?

The new capacitance transducing inductive energy storage pulsed power system is as shown in Fig. 1.8. This circuit also uses the transducing capacitor to solve the overvoltage problem of the circuit breaker, without requiring mutual inductance between the coils, and it is easy to achieve series charging and parallel discharging.
