Design and Thermal-Structural Analyses of Ancillary Components for the Optical Steering Mirror (M4) for the ITER ECH Upper Launcher

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni

Each of the four ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating Upper Launcher (ECHUL) features eight transmission lines (TLs) that are used to inject 170-GHz microwave power into the plasma at a level of up to 1.31 MW (at the TL diamond window) per line. The millimeter ...

On the Stability of FDTD-Based Numerical Codes to Evaluate Lightning-Induced Overvoltages in Overhead Transmission Lines

One of the main issues that has to be faced when evaluating lightning-induced overvoltages on a realistic network configuration is to implement the algorithm that solves the field-to-line coupling problem into an electromagnetic simulator that is able to r ...

Impedance and Admittance Formulas for a Multistair Model of Transmission Towers

This article discusses formulas for the surge/ characteristic impedance of vertical conductors. Calculated results of the surge impedance are compared with measured results on vertical conductors and transmission towers. The accuracy of the available time- ...

Machine Learning-Based Lightning Localization Algorithm Using Lightning-Induced Voltages on Transmission Lines

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Hamidreza Karami

In this article, we present a machine learning-based method to locate lightning flashes using calculations of lightning induced voltages on a transmission line. The proposed approach takes advantage of the preinstalled voltage measurement systems on power ...

Investigation of Electromagnetic Field Coupling to a Transmission Line Terminated with Non- Vertical Risers

Marcos Rubinstein, Jun Guo

Recently, a simple and efficient method was proposed to take into account non-vertical risers at the end of transmission lines through an equivalent partial inductance. This paper evaluates the frequency above which the inductance needs to be taken into ac ...

A Closed Time-Reversal Cavity for Electromagnetic Waves in Transmission Line Networks

Mario Paolone, Marcos Rubinstein, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi

A closed time-reversal cavity has been considered a purely theoretical concept whose experimental realization was assumed to be impossible. In this paper, we demonstrate that it is, in fact, possible to realize a closed time-reversal cavity using a network ...

Electromagnetic Time Reversal: Theory, Application to Fault Location in Power Networks and Experimental Validation

Zhaoyang Wang

The time-reversal invariance is readily described and universally embodied in most laws of nature, either in a strict or in a soft sense. Based on this underlying physical principle, time-reversal theory has been theoretically and experimentally studied in ...

The Upper Bound of the Speed of Propagation of Waves along a Transmission Line

Marcos Rubinstein

According to theory, once certain conditions are fulfilled, current and voltage pulses propagate along ideal transmission lines with the speed of light. One can reach such a conclusion only when the conductors are assumed to be perfectly conducting, which ...

High-Power Testing of Guided-Wave Components for the ITER ECH Upper Launcher at the FALCON Test Facility

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni

Each of the four ITER electron cyclotron heating (ECH) upper launchers (ULs) features eight transmission lines (TLs) made of guided-wave components used to inject 170-GHz microwave power into the plasma at a level of up to 1.31 MW per line, at the TL diamo ...

Four Quadrant Bus-Tie Switch for Protection of Shipboard Power Systems

Drazen Dujic, Gabriele Ulissi

The desire to increase the voltage of DC shipboard power distribution networks to the medium voltage level derives from the pressure to reduce the operating costs of such systems by increasing their efficiency. Solid state bus-tie switches are accepted to ...
