This is due to the contribution of the kinetic energy of the axial movement of the plasma into the internal energy of SXR source. The purpose of the experiments was to achieve threedimensional synchronous compression of the plasma in the geometric center of a quasi-spherical array. For the optimal linear mass profile (ml(θ) = mfsinθ), it follows from the measured distribution of the azimuthal magnetic field that, in the stage of plasma production up to the SXR pulse, the plasma with the frozen-in magnetic field penetrates the array from the polar and equatorial regions almost synchronously. The size and shape of the X-ray radiation source in quasi-spherical current implosion were inferred from plasma emission spectrum measurement with spatial resolution and registration of framing X-ray images. Estimation of the radiation flux on the surface of such a source was received.","PeriodicalId":247019,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 21st International Conference on Pulsed Power (PPC)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127882430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pulsed power generates streamer like discharge in water. The streamer discharge generates many active species (ozone, OH radical, ultraviolet rays etc.). All of them could be utilized to the decomposition of organic substances in water. However, to generate uniform streamer discharge is difficult in water because breakdown voltage in water is high. This phenomenon decreases efficiency of the water treatment. Therefore we are studying the water treatment method that contaminated water is sprayed as droplets from the top into the reactor that generates pulsed plasma in gaseous phase. The feature of our system is that contaminated water is sprayed as droplets from the top into the reactor that generates pulsed plasma in gaseous phase. Contaminated water reacts with active species in the streamer discharge directly. Hence this method has so much high efficiency for the water treatment. However, since OH radical that has short lifetime is generated near the streamer, some OH radicals would react before the reaction to the droplets. In this study, we designed a new reactor that the pulsed discharge occurs on the surface of the water droplets. By this design, it has been observed to improve the energy efficiency for water treatment. In other words, it is possible to decompose the organic substances in water with less energy and to come faster treatment.","PeriodicalId":247019,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 21st International Conference on Pulsed Power (PPC)","volume":"31 1-2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120933304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, detailed physical properties of streamer discharge remain unclear. Therefore, basic research on pulsed streamer discharge is necessary. Previous studies have shown that voltage rise rates greatly influence streamer discharge, but few reports have focused on this. While peak voltage tends to vary under the influence of voltage rise rates, research to date has generally utilized an unfixed peak voltage. This study investigates discharge propagation phenomena at a fixed peak voltage under various voltage rise rates using an ICCD camera. In the experiment, a pulsed voltage with a duration of 100 ns was created using Blumlein lines and applied to a needle-hemisphere electrode. The applied peak voltage was about 71 kV with the electrode gap set at 24 mm as measured from the top of the needle to hemisphere surface. A decrease in the number of winding coils from 5 to 0 resulted in a pulsed voltage rise rate increased from 0.61 to 1.21 kV/ns. Important results are as follows. (1) The ending time of streamer head propagation was delayed, and the voltage at that time increased from 53.1 to 61.0 kV. (2) Streamer head velocity on average increased from 0.45 to 0.58 mm/ns. (3) Brightness value increase at the end of streamer head propagation. Our experimental results elucidate the relationship of pulsed voltage rise rate to various streamer discharge parameters. We conclude that pulsed voltage rise rate has a great influence on the physical characteristics of streamer discharge.","PeriodicalId":247019,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 21st International Conference on Pulsed Power (PPC)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115609195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to cable and oil feed-through design voltage hold off, different types of high voltage switches will be evaluated. The system contains two switches connected in series separated by ∼60 ns worth of high voltage cable. The configuration is such that triggering the first switch enables the triggering of the second switch. This way we can evaluate the performance of two switches at the same time and study the influence of one switch on the other. A software system similar to LabView is designed and built to operate and collect data in a rep-rated mode. The two switches are immersed in transformer oil tanks and pressurized with dry air. The present paper will mainly present a cable-oil feed-through design evaluation as a function of repetition rate. The rep-rate will be adjusted to not affect the cable voltage hold-off as well as switch performance. The rep-rate is necessary in order to obtain component lifetime results in a reasonably short time. Apparently the transformer oil in a high voltage DC environment behaves much differently than in AC. Its behavior is similar to a weak electrolyte, and space charge effects seriously affect the current through it as well as the field distribution. This consideration is quite important in designing the proper high voltage DC cable-oil feedthroughs.","PeriodicalId":247019,"journal":{"name":"2017 IEEE 21st International Conference on Pulsed Power (PPC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114859364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The PPS system can be divided into several functional subsystems: pulse forming subsystem, control subsystem, charging subsystem, and measurement subsystem. Matrix type structure and modular architecture are adopted in the design of the PPS. The PPS is assembled in two 40' general purpose containers and a primary energy cabin in order to meet the requirements of field experiments and transportation. The pulse forming subsystem consists of 30 parallel pulse power modules (PPMs). Each module includes three 334kJ pulse forming units (PFUs) in parallel. The control subsystem has a two-level control structure. The primary level control device is a remote master controller and the second level is a pulse power module controller. The charging subsystem is composed of 30 high voltage capacity charging power supplies (CCPSs) and a primary energy unit (PEU). The PEU includes 30 lithium iron phosphate group (LIPG), each LIPG power supplied one CCPS. And the core component of CCPS is a series resonance converter based on IGBT bridges. The measurement subsystem adopts a PXI bus based data collection system and a master-slave network structure with optical fiber synchronous communication. With electrical parameters of the PPS and railgun being assumed, numerical studies of the railgun launch process have been down with Matlab/Simulink platform. Through thermal management simulation, the pulse components cooled by air nature can realized continuous discharging 5 times, each time interval of 6 seconds. It is benefits by the pulsed components development and progress. At present, 2 PFU and 1 CCPS have been built and debugged successfully.
