Abstract
In this paper, a bouncer circuit for a 120 MW/370 kV modulator is described. The bouncer circuit is a two-winding inductor bouncer which reduces the output voltage droop. The bouncer circuit is described and investigated in detail. Also, the influence of component tolerances is investigated. Finally, the benefit of using a bouncer circuit is shown by presenting the same modulator without and with bouncer circuit. The amount of stored energy was reduced by a factor of 3.3 which reduces the overall system volume significantly.
