Power Supply Concepts for Particle Accelerators

This paper presents the recent developed power supply concepts for feeding particle accelerator magnets. The developed concepts of power supplies are universal and modular platforms for current source power supplies, feeding magnets and superconducting magnets in particle accelerators. The developed concepts, based on MOSFET/IGBT technologies, are suitable for static and for dynamic mode operation particle accelerators like cyclotrons and synchrotrons. The dynamic mode types can recuperate energy from the superconducting magnets to the built-in storage capacitors or to the feeding network. This paper presents an overview, some design aspects, performances and test results of the developed power supply concepts at the EVPÚ company.
