“…The DBD model involves a stray capacitance C S due to effect of the capacitance reactor, two dielectric capacitance C d1 and C d2 corresponding to dielectric material as glass, then a parallel circuit is formed; first by a series load R g -C g , and second by a current source controlled by voltage V g . Figure 11 shows the schematic and equivalent DBD proposed in (Flores et al, 2009). The goal of proposed of an electrical model is to provide more information about voltage and current values at the electrical discharge, because in the experimental set-up not only the voltages υ d (t) and υ g (t) are not measurable but also parameters are not well known because there are not conventional methods with measurement instruments.…”

“…A considerable amount of literature has been published concerning about this kind of static power converter topology on industrial applications, for instance: STATCOM™ transport trains active filters to eliminate total harmonic distortion THD, cd to cd and cd to ca power converters, and more recently in Eolic conversion energy (Rodriguez et al, 2012;Abu et al, 2010;Fernao et al, 2012). Precedent studies about a Three Cell Flying Capacitor Inverter in half-bridge, coupled in an electrical model of a Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) are presented by (Flores et al, 2009). A simulation of the electrical model is used in order to estimate the experimental results at different gas discharges, and operation frequency about 12.5 and 47 kHz implementing different commutation strategies.…”

The design and simulation of a Full-Bridge Flying-Capacitor Multilevel-Inverter (FB-FCMI) for high-voltage applications are presented. The power inverter topology consists of two legs: each one with three commutation cells, six switches and two flying-capacitors. The proposed control system provides twelve square signals for all switches that compose the inverter, which is driven at a commutation frequency f SW ≈6.66 kHz. The output frequency f 0 , is equal to three times the commutation frequency. The inductor and capacitor in the resonant-circuit design is calculated based on f 0 , which depends on the number of cells, N. The goal of the proposed inverter design is to demonstrate that, the output frequency increases as rate of f 0 = N• f SW . In order to show the effect of the increase in the number of cells, a resonant power inverter is designed and simulated, first with three and then with six switching cells, at f 0 = 20 kHz. Finally, the FB-FCMI is connected to the primary winding of the high-voltage transformer, while the secondary is coupled to a Dielectric Barrier Discharge reactor represented by its electrical model, to generate an electrical discharge in helium. Keywords: Multilevel-inverter, full-bridge, resonant-circuit, dielectric barrier discharge, electrical model. resumenSe presenta el diseño y simulación de un Inversor Multinivel de Capacitores Flotados (FB-FCMI, por sus siglas en inglés) en puente completo para aplicaciones de alto voltaje. La topología del inversor de potencia consiste en dos ramas, cada una con tres células de conmutación, seis interruptores y dos condensadores flotados. El sistema de control proporciona doce señales cuadradas para todos los interruptores que componen el inversor, que se opera a frecuencia de conmutación f SW ≈6.66 kHz. La frecuencia de salida es f 0 , y es igual a tres veces la frecuencia de conmutación. El diseño del inductor y condensador del circuito resonante se calcula con base en f 0 , que está en función del número de células, N. El objetivo del diseño del inversor propuesto es demostrar que, la frecuencia de salida incrementa en proporción de f 0 = N• f SW . A fin de que se observe el efecto por el incremento en el número de células, un inversor resonante de potencia se diseña y simula, primero con tres y después con seis células de conmutación, a f 0 = 20 kHz. Finalmente, el FB-FCMI se conecta al primario de un transformador de alto voltaje, mientras que el secundario se acopla a una descarga de barrera dieléctrica para generar una descarga eléctrica en helio.

In this paper, a cylindrical dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasma reactor is analyzed and investigated at normal environmental conditions. The stressed voltage is varied up to 40 kV peak-to-peak with a variable frequency of up to 4 kHz. In order to compare the experimental findings with the simulation results, an equivalent electrical circuit model is used. To simulate the dynamic microdischarge inside the plasma reactor, a voltage-controlled current source is implemented. The reactor is filled with aluminum oxide to enhance its operation. An equivalent configuration is proposed to model the region of alumina pellets inside the reactor and to calculate the corresponding equivalent capacitance. It is found that the measured voltage, discharge current, and voltage-charge waveforms are consistent with the simulated results. The quantitative comparison of the experimental and simulated data confirms the validity of the developed electrical circuit model of the plasma reactor.Index Terms-Capacitance, dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) reactor, discharge power, microdischarge.

“…The cold plasma can be applied to the load of interest; yet, in the mutually distinctive range of applications, the operating voltage and power may become highly different under various scenarios [3], [4]. To cope with various situations, a common method is to develop a special power driver, where either dc or ac power is suitable [5]- [10]. However, it is noted that when the dc source is applied, the charges are often accumulated on the dielectric surface, hindering the progress of circuit discharging.…”

“…Worst of all, once the charge has accumulated to a certain level, it becomes prone to arcing, often bringing difficulty of plasmacontrol performance. On the contrary, by choosing the ac source to enact a preionization to facilitate the glow discharge, the required frequency may be up to several kilohertz [5], [6].…”

In this paper, the circuit design of a resonant inverter for plasma-driven system is studied. Based on the half-bridge inverter structure, the proposed circuit has included the softswitching techniques so that the investment on heat dissipation can be greatly saved. Moreover, this paper has investigated plasma power control under different conditions. Via the developed control circuit to formulate the relationships between the output power and voltage as a quadratic function, the output power of the system can then be controlled and becomes insensitive to plasma voltage variations. In order to solidify the practicality of this circuit design, mathematical analyses and experimental validations have been thoroughly performed. Test results help confirm the effectiveness of the method, demonstrating its feasibility and practicality for high-frequency-drive industry applications.Index Terms-Asymmetrical pulsewidth modulation (PWM) (APWM), half-bridge inverter, hybrid resonant, plasma power, power control.
