Three-Phase Energy Transfer Circuit with Superconducting Energy Storage Coils

The operation and circuit analysis of a three-phase inductor converter bridge (ICB) is described. The ICB is used to transfer energy between two superconducting coils and may find application in future tokamak fusion power reactors and large particle accelerators. This circuit provides an efficient,...

More Information
Summary:The operation and circuit analysis of a three-phase inductor converter bridge (ICB) is described. The ICB is used to transfer energy between two superconducting coils and may find application in future tokamak fusion power reactors and large particle accelerators. This circuit provides an efficient, controllable, and reversible means for energy transfer.
