Design of high voltage power supply for SINEW mask

Abstract. Electrostatic Precipitation (ESP) is an effective method of removing particulates from the air. It is currently used in many large-scale industrial applications but sees little to no use in smaller-scale use-cases due to the difficulty of generating high voltage in small packages and safety concerns. This paper presents the motivation, design, and evaluation of a miniature DC high voltage (HVDC) power supply for application in small-scale ESP systems. The power supply's potential for portable ESP application is tested on The Smart, Individualized, Noncontact, Extended-Wear (SINEW) mask. The results show that the power supply operates with acceptable efficiency and generates the necessary high voltages and power necessary to drive ESP even on non-optimized geometries.

Compact Switched-Inductor Power Supplies: Design Optimization with Second-Order Core Loss Model

Expressing switched-inductor converter losses simply as a function of design variables is key for designers. Power losses in switched-inductor power supplies are varied in nature, and optimization schemes in the literature fail to account for all of them. Available core loss models are mostly empirical or rely on measurements or variables beyond the reach of power supply designers. Specifically, a simple core loss model is missing. This work offers complete design optimization of switched-inductor power supplies with a quadratic model of core loss that relies solely on design variables known to the designers—inductance and switching frequency (or inductor peak current). This model alleviates the burden of performing complex measurements to characterize the inductor—measurements that, moreover, require geometric data about the core, such as its size, which are often not disclosed by the manufacturer. Predicted minimum losses without approximation are within 3.2% of measured minimum losses, and predicted minimum losses with approximation are within 2.2% of measured minimum losses.

Advances in the Design of Renewable Energy Power Supply for Rural Health Clinics, Case Studies, and Future Directions

Globally, effective and efficient healthcare is critical to the wellbeing and standard of living of any society. Unfortunately, several distant communities far from the national grid do not have access to reliable power supply, owing to economic, environmental, and technical challenges. Furthermore, unreliable, unavailable, and uneconomical power supply to these communities contributes significantly to the delivery of substandard or absence of qualitative healthcare services, resulting in higher mortality rates and associated difficulty in attracting qualified healthcare workers to the affected communities. Given these circumstances, this paper aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the status of renewable energy available to rural healthcare clinics around the globe, emphasizing its potential, analysis, procedures, modeling techniques, and case studies. In this light, several renewable energy modeling techniques were reviewed to examine the optimum power supply to the referenced healthcare centers in remote communities. To this end, analytical techniques and standard indices for reliable power supply to the isolated healthcare centers are suggested. Specifically, different battery storage systems that are suitable for rural healthcare systems are examined, and the most economical and realistic procedure for the maintenance of microgrid power systems for sustainable healthcare delivery is defined. Finally, this paper will serve as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and experts in rural power supply to remote healthcare centers globally.

Influence of the Bulb Geometry and Electrical Supply Parameters on the UV Emission of DBD Excimer Lamps

The aim of this article is to improve the performance of DBD excimer lamps systems for UV production. Within this framework, our approach considers two distinct directions: the geometric dimensions of the double-barrier lamp bulb and the characteristics of the power supply. To explore these directions, a sampling of 19 bulbs of different geometries is considered, and a specially designed power supply is used, capable of controlling the shape (duration and magnitude) and frequency of current pulses injected into the plasma. A dedicated test bench, including a supervisory program that drives the power supply and collects system performance data, is used to perform parametric sweeps and guarantee measurement repeatability: the set of electrical parameters is fully explored for each lamp, and each experiment is characterized by UV emission performance and electrical generator operating conditions. Multiquadric response surfaces, used to format the results of this multi-variable exploration, reveal the most efficient directions for system optimization: increasing gas volume and, at a given operating frequency, providing the shortest possible current pulses with high amplitude can increase both UV emission and conversion efficiency.

К выбору параметров регулятора непосредственного понижающего преобразователя с одноконтурной системой управления с учетом динамических нелинейностей

The article is devoted to the issues of choosing the parameters of a proportional-integral-differentiating regulator of a single loop control system with a buck converter taking into account dynamic nonlinearities This problem arises when it is necessary to design pulsed voltage conver¬ters with increased performance, when it is necessary to increase the cutoff frequency of an open-loop control loop without the possibility of increasing the carrier frequency of pulse width modulation due to limitations of the element base, which in some cases leads to the appearance of nonlinear effects. This must be taken into account when choosing both the open-loop cutoff frequency and the stability margin. The article proposes a nonlinear dynamic model of a direct buck converter with a proportional-integral-differentiating regulator both in the form of a piecewise smooth system of differential equations and in the form of a Poincaré map. A method for selecting controller parameters is proposed for a given open-loop cutoff frequency, and a given stability margin, as well as for given ranges of input voltage and load resistance based on the use of numerical methods for solving systems of nonlinear equations with given restrictions. The nonlinear dynamics of the system was studied for various sets of controller parameters. It is shown that with an increase in the cutoff frequency and small stability margins, undesirable dynamic modes may arise in the system when the filter capacitance drops within the calculated values, while linear dynamic models show the stability of the system. To eliminate the possibility of the emergence of undesirable modes, it is necessary to increase the stability margin with subsequent monitoring of the results using a nonlinear dynamic model. The proposed method for selecting the cutoff frequency of an open loop and the phase stability margin, based on the analysis of nonlinear dyna¬mics, allows you to design power supplies with increased performance.

Performance of MT-I spherical tokamak with upgraded power supplies

This paper describes the upgradation of power supply systems for the improved performance of a small spherical tokamak (MT-I) with an aspect ratio of 1.67 in operation at the Pakistan Tokamak Plasma Research Institute (PTPRI), Islamabad. Three mutually independent power supplies are designed to generate current pulses of desired shape and magnitude in central solenoid (CS), toroidal field (TF) and vertical field (VF) coil systems. The main parts of a power supply are capacitor banks as energy storage devices, ignitrons and thyristors as fast switches for controlled power switching. A double capacitor bank topology with enhanced second capacitor bank voltage is found to be suitable for CS to improve the plasma startup conditions. Simulations are performed in MATLAB Simulink for confirmation of the designed power supply system. The Rogowski coil and current transformers are employed to measure plasma current and the coil’s current waveforms during the experiment in the presence of hydrogen as working gas. An ocean spectrometer and a photron high-speed camera (SA-8) are used for optical measurements and fast plasma imaging. An improvement in startup conditions is observed, enhancing the plasma current duration and light emission intensity recorded in the high-speed camera masked with a Hα filter.

Self-Frequency Tracking for Fixed-Ratio Switch-Capacitors in Data Center Application without Extra Sensors

As research into data centers progresses, the importance of resonant switched-capacitor converters in power supply design becomes more evident. Practical applications reveal that the values of resonant capacitors and inductors may deviate from their nominal values due to various factors, leading to resonant frequency instability. This instability poses a challenge to power electronics technology, affecting system reliability and performance. This paper analyzes the effect of frequency deviation on system functionality, identifies the relationship between output voltage and switching frequency, and proposes a self-tracking frequency strategy to address this issue. Through experimental validation, this approach shows that it maintains synchronization between switching and resonant frequencies, reducing losses associated with frequency misalignment. Simulation and experimental results validate the converter’s stable operation and its ability to achieve zero-voltage and zero-current switching.

Design, Construction and Programming of a Low-Cost Pulsed High-Voltage Direct Current Power Supply for the Electrophoretic Deposition of Silicon Carbide Mixed with Graphite and/or Alumina for Thermoelectric Applications

This document describes a proprietary design, construction, programming and testing of a low-cost pulsed high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power supply with an output of 430 V and power of 25 W. The design obtained allows costs to be reduced compared to commercial ones, highlighting that the manufacturing of this HVDC is easy to replicate. To demonstrate the operation of the pulsed power supply prototype, coatings of silicon carbide (SiC) and SiC mixed with graphite (C) and/or alumina (Al2O3) were made using the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. After processing, samples underwent a heat treatment at 500 °C to evaluate their thermoelectric (TE) efficiency. The samples were analysed via X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity. The Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity were measured in a temperature range of 100–500 °C in a nitrogen (N2) atmosphere. The electrical conductivity of the SiC 6C-4Al sample was 0.65 S/cm at 500 °C, while the maximum Seebeck coefficient was 2500 μV/K of the SiC 6C-4Al sample at 200 °C. The thermal conductivity of SiC 6C-4Al was in the range of 0.35–0.37 W/m·K, which was much lower than the SiC sample free of alumina and graphite in the same measured temperature range. In conclusion, the SiC 6C-4Al sample presented the highest figure of merit with a ZT ≈ 0.01.
