In recent years, the demand for high power density power supplies for accelerator systems has been growing rapidly, and the design of high-power modular power supplies is facing serious challenges [1–3]. The EMC design of high power density switching power supplies faces the serious challenge of accurate prediction and suppression of high-frequency conducted disturbances. In this paper, we propose an analysis method that incorporates circuit behavior modeling in concert with electromagnetic interference (EMI) spectral algorithms. Firstly, a cross-domain correlation model between time-domain current waveforms and frequency-domain interference features is established, and the switching transient process is mapped to the conduction path via parasitic parameters through circuit behavior modeling to improve the EMI prediction accuracy in the 150 kHz–30 MHz band. Second, the RBW adaptive FFT algorithm is used, and the EMI curves are compared with the simulation curves, and the experiments show that the method can accurately identify the EMI spectrum, and the spike bands are matched. This study provides a theoretical framework and a practical tool for the EMC design of high-density power modules.
A magnetic mass spectrograph has been developed for measuring the ion composition of pulsed vacuum arc ion sources at 60 kV extraction voltage. The mass spectrograph is comprised of an ion beam collimator, an einzel lens, a 114 degrees dipole magnet, and a 416-channel Faraday-strip array detector. The main advantages of this mass spectrograph are its high simultaneous mass-to-charge ratio detection range and gapless Faraday-strip array detector. This paper introduces the design of the mass spectrograph and evaluates its performance in terms of resolving power and simultaneous detection range.
The High-energy Fragment Separator (HFRS) at the High-Intensity Heavy-Ion Accelerator Facility (HIAF) employs 11 superferric superconducting dipole magnets to deflect heavy-ion beams. Operating at a design current of 210 A and storing 370 kJ of magnetic energy, each magnet requires a dedicated DC power supply capable of providing highly stable excitation current and fast quench protection. This paper presents a complete power supply system for these magnets, with particular emphasis on a modular quench protection module (QPM) and an FPGA-based centralized controller. The QPM adopts a redundant full-bridge IGBT architecture in a compact 4U form factor. Upon receiving magnet quench trigger signals via a fiber optic interface, it completes IGBT turn-off and energy extraction circuit engagement within a microsecond-scale response time, thereby enabling fast and reliable magnet protection. The FPGA master controller incorporates a masking communication mechanism, which provides centralized management, independent control, and real-time diagnosis of magnet quench and module faults for distributed power units. Through a serial device server, the centralized controller simultaneously monitors the operating status and configures parameters for up to six power supply units over RS-485 links. Experimental results confirm that the power supply achieves a current stability of ±1 × 10−4. Under simulated magnet quench conditions, the protection system successfully transfers the stored energy to an external dump resistor, validating the reliability and effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The system provides a scalable protection solution for the HFRS superconducting dipole magnet array.
The laminated busbar is a very critical component of the accelerator power supply equipment. A large number of large-capacity capacitors, high-power switching tubes and other important components are connected in parallel to it. It works in medium to high frequency and high current pulse mode. The performance of the laminated busbar—especially whether the distribution of inductance and resistance is uniform enough—has a direct impact on the reliable and stable operation of the power supply. In actual engineering practice, it is difficult to evaluate and judge the performance of laminated busbars simply and intuitively. It usually needs to be determined through actual testing after the power supply is manufactured. At this time, if it cannot meet the standards, it will have to be reworked. The process of optimizing the design is therefore time-consuming and laborious. This paper tests the use of finite element analysis method to analyze the inductance and resistance of laminated busbars with a specific structure. To achieve this goal, the script function of the existing commonly used commercial software ANSYS was re-developed to complete the script generator, which in disguise realized the multi-parameter batch scanning analysis and calculation functions required for research. On this basis, the inductor and resistance of a laminated busbar used in actual power supplies were analyzed and calculated, and a design method was proposed to make the distribution of the inductor and resistance more uniform by drilling holes in the laminated busbar metal plate, with good results. It also shows that it is feasible to introduce finite element analysis method into power supply design to analyze the performance of some special components, thereby improving the efficiency of design work.

Capacitors are widely used in pulsed magnet power supplies to reduce ripple voltage,store energy,and decrease power vari-ation.In this study,DC-link capacitors in pulsed power supplies were investigated.By deriving an analytical method for the capacitor current on the H-bridge topology side,the root-mean-square value of the capacitor current was calculated,which helps in selecting the DC-link capacitors.The proposed method solves this problem quickly and with high accuracy.The current reconstruction of the DC-link capacitor is proposed to avoid structural damage in the capacitor's current measure-ment,and the capacitor's hotspot temperature and temperature rise are calculated using the FFT transform.The test results showed that the error between the calculated and measured temperature increases was within 1.5 ℃.Finally,the lifetime of DC-link capacitors was predicted based on Monte Carlo analysis.The proposed method can evaluate the reliability of DC-link capacitors in a non-isolated switching pulsed power supply for accelerators and is also applicable to film capacitors.
We describe a new modular cascaded H-bridge high power accelerator dipole magnet pulse power supply for the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou-Cooler-Storage-Ring main ring (HIRFL-CSRm). The power supply consists of two branches connected in parallel, each of which consists of four 360 V/1800-A power units connected in series. Each power unit uses modular high power density voltage sources in parallel for the ac/dc converter and cascaded H-bridges for the dc/dc converter. In addition, digital control strategies are implemented. The voltage source modules adopt voltage and current dual closed-loop control, and the cascaded H-bridges use current dual closed-loop control with frequency-doubling modulation and cascaded multilevel control. The effectiveness of the proposed topology scheme and control strategies is confirmed through experiments, and the thermal stability of the power supply is verified through 72-h continuous output experiments.

The insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) module is one of the most age-affected components in the switch power supply, and its reliability prediction is conducive to timely troubleshooting and reduction in safety risks and unnecessary costs. The pulsed current pattern of the accelerator power supply is different from other converter applications; therefore, this study proposed a lifetime estimation method for IGBT modules in pulsed power supplies for accelerator magnets. The proposed methodology was based on junction temperature calculations using square-wave loss discretization and thermal modeling. Comparison results showed that the junction temperature error between the simulation and IR measurements was less than 3%.

After combining the IGBT4 PC curve and fitting the test results, a simple corrected lifetime model was developed to quantitatively evaluate the lifetime of the IGBT module, which can be employed for the accelerator pulsed power supply in engineering. This method can be applied to other IGBT modules and pulsed power supplies.

Keeping the highest junction temperature of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) modules below the critical temperature is the key to ensuring the stability and reliability of power supplies in accelerator facilities. However, the existing junction temperature extraction methods are not suitable for liquid cooling IGBTs and can be improved in terms of speed and accuracy. In order to investigate the junction temperature of IGBT modules and the characteristics of their water-cooled plates, an electro-thermal model combining the thermal network method and the computational fluid dynamics analysis is proposed. Because the power loss is corrected by the double-pulse test, and the thermal resistance of the cold plate is improved by computational fluid dynamics simulation, the accuracy of the model is improved. The thermal network method guarantees that the model is fast and can be easily applied to various operating conditions. The method is used to analyze the performance of two cold plates, select the cooling conditions, and further increase the switching frequency on the premise of ensuring the reliability of the IGBT module. The accuracy of the method has verified by experimental results, and the applicable conditions and the estimated junction temperature error are also analyzed.
