Design of a Distributed Parameter Power Rectifier Array (Dppra) for Synchrotron Radiation-To-Dc Power Conversion
Source abstract
Abstract
Design and formulas and a design example of a synchrotron electromagnetic radiation-to-DC power convertor is presented. The convertor ofthe design example converts radiative electromagnetic power of one megawatts/m2, 1 THz to 30 THz of synchrotronradiationfrom anuclearfusion reactor to utility electric power. The convertor puts out DC power of 830 kW with DC current of 1079 kA at DC voltage 0.77 V with 83% efficiency. The converter consists of an array of combination of antenna arrays and a distributedparameter power rectifier (DPPR).
