Abstract :
Repetitive pulsed power generation by compact sources is being studied for industrial applications. The research efforts include pulse-compression concept exploration, electrical circuit design and optimization, switching device development and evaluation, and application demonstrations. The basic strategy is to take advantage of solid-state switching devices to achieve compactness, reliability, and high repetition rate of pulsed power systems operating in both capacitive and inductive energy-storage schemes. These solid-state switches include saturable inductors, saturable capacitors, photoconductive semiconductors, and other power semiconductor switching devices, such as MOSFET, IGBT, SiC-FET, and SI-Thyristor.
