Abstract :
An increasing number of applications, ranging from the very small power supplies in computers to multi-megawatt traction systems and DC-arc-furnaces, require DC-voltage supplies in their font-ends. The Resonant Regulating Pulse Power (R2P2) units, employed by the Atomic Energy Corporation of SA (AEC), to drive their pulse lasers is no exception. A steady-state harmonic penetration model, based on harmonic superposition through nodal bus-admittance matrix formulation, has been developed on a Mathcad package to facilitate the search for the most economical combination of power supplies, filters and conditioning equipment. The accuracy of this model is verified in this paper from where it is used to study larger networks. A practical set of definitions for evaluating distortion power calculation, is also discussed
