Control upgrade for the TCV coils power supplies

Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray, Nicolas Cherix

The Tokamak a` Configuration Variable (TCV) coil converters are fed, during the plasma pulse, by a flywheel generator (FG) providing the AC voltages few seconds before the plasma pulse. The synchronization with the 120 Hz frequency delivered by the FG, var ...

Sizing of branch inductors parameters in modular multilevel converters: An analytical approach

Alfred Rufer, Michail Vasiladiotis, Nicolas Cherix

One of the key features of Modular Multilevel Converters is the existence of inductors inside the branches that constitute each of their phases. These inductors, which may be coupled or non-coupled, authorize a certain independency in the control of the br ...
