AbstractEnergy storage capacitors are used in large quantities in high power converters for particle accelerators. In this application capacitors see neither a DC nor an AC voltage but a combination of the two. The paper presents a new power converter explicitly designed to perform accelerated testing on these capacitors and the results of the tests.

AbstractParticle accelerators, and in particular synchrotrons, represent large cycling non-linear loads connected to the electrical distribution network. This paper discusses the typical design and performance of Static Var Compensators (SVCs) to obtain the excellent power quality levels required for particle accelerator operation.

In the frame of the LHC Injectors Upgrade (LIU) project, a new main power supply (MPS) for the PSBooster accelerator is required. The largest element of the new MPS is the 18 MW main power converter (MPC). The paper presents the design of the MPC control software, using Rapid Control Prototyping.Presented at: EPE 2015, 7-10 September 2015, Geneva, Switzerland Geneva, Switzerland October, 2015
