Currently, at HPE, a pulse transformer-based solid-state modulator system
for a particle accelerator facility is under investigation. This modulator
should generate voltage pulses with a length of 5 μs and a nominal voltage
of 700 kV. In parallel to the pulse transformer, which is shown on the
left of the figure, a damping network must be inserted for an optimal
pulse performance [1]. For designing the pulse transformer as well as the
damping network, optimisation procedures are developed at HPE.
During the design process, space and mechanical constraints often occur
imposing additional limitations on the design. In this project, you will
consider the integration of the damping network and the pulse transformer
on a system-level. First, you will familiarise yourself with the existing
optimisation procedures. Then, you will select the components of the
damping network based on their electrical ratings. As a final step, you
will implement mechanical designs using a CAD software, developing the
system on its full-scale as a CAD model.
