Power Supply Subsystem for MHD Generator Superconducting Magnet, Baseline Power Supply Designs and Costs

摘要

An analysis of the dc power supply requirements for superconducting magnets used in MHD generators of ratings 250 MW/sub e/ exp - 1000 MW/sub e/ is presented. The power supplies considered are rated for a peak power of 10 MW and for currents of 20 kA to 100 kA. The various aspects discussed include: rectifier configurations and specifications, control requirements, dumping the magnet energy, and rectifier size, arrangement and cost. (ERA citation 07:022136)
