A novel 60 MW Pulsed Power System based on Capacitive Energy Storage for Particle Accelerators

摘要

Large physics experimentation as in particle accelerators or in nuclear fusion is often characterised by a strong and modulated power demand, incompatible with the power availability of the grid. Therefore, large facilities for short-term energy storage have been used, traditionally based on rotating machines. Several new solutions of power supply are studied and especially a new solution for energy storage is presented, where capacitors are used as energy storage elements. They are integrated in the static power converter.
