| Abstract |
This paper focuses on designing the so-called NEPTUNE: a high-power (2 MW), high-current (24 kA) multiphase power converter for particle accelerators, with the goal of minimizing load current harmonics using cost-effective components while considering market constraints. In particular, the effects of parasitic resistance and inductance asymmetries, DC-Link perturbations, and associated mitigation strategies are explored. The paper employs analytical studies, simulations, and measurements on a small-scale prototype to validate the proposed solutions. |
