A new digital pulse power supply in heavy ion research facility in Lanzhou

To meet the increasing requirements of the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou-Cooler Storage Ring (HIRFL-CSR), a new digital pulse power supply, which employs multi-level converter, was designed. This power supply was applied with a multi H-bridge converters series-parallel connection topology. A new control model named digital power supply regulator system (DPSRS) was proposed, and a pulse power supply prototype based on DPSRS has been built and tested. The experimental results indicate that tracking error and ripple current meet the requirements of this design. The achievement of prototype provides a perfect model for HIRFL-CSR power supply system. -- Highlights: • The converters topology of series-parallel connection improves the power supply's performance. • The SOPC based on dual Nios II processors improves the real-time performance of system. • Pulse mode is implemented in digital power supply based on FPGA, with a smaller tracking error
