Abstract :
The Component Design and Integration Facility (CDIF) located in Butte, Montana, is intended to provide the means for developmental testing of various components of a Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) generating plant. As part of this process, small scale systems will produce power which is to be fed into the Montana Power Company system for some time periods. Since the MHD generator produces dc, a dc to ac converter is necessary for the system interface.
