Power inversion and control of closed cycle disk MHD generator using current source PWM inverter

摘要

A power inversion and control system for a supersonic closed cycle disk MHD generator, using a current source PWM inverter, is considered, and its performance is confirmed through numerical simulations for a model system in which the MHD generator with 100 MW thermal input and 40 MW electrical output, using cesium seeded helium plasma, is connected to the electric power systems, expressed by the infinite bus, via the power inversion and control system and the power transmission line. It is made clear that the system can stably and steadily transmit the nominal electric power from the MHD generator to the electric power system under the nominal operating condition.
