New one-phase dual converter for superconducting inductive energy storage and transfer applications: the one-phase inductor-converter bridge

This report presents the results of theoretical and experimental development of the one-phase Inductor-Converter Bridge (ICB). The basic operating principles of the circuit are described followed by a theoretical treatment of the dynamics and control of the system. The successful results of the first experimental operation and control of the one-phase ICB are presented and explained. Finally, a discussion of some of the interesting transient and steady state behavior of the circuit, along with some of its unique features, is given
