Nanosecond inductive energy storage pulsed power system using YBCO superconductor opening switches

Description
There are two common types of energy storage systems: capacitive and inductive. The ratio of inductive to capacitive energy storage density can be as high as 25. The capacitive energy storage system requires large volume and high voltage while the inductive system can be much more compact and operate at relatively low voltage. Here, an inductive energy storage pulsed power system (IESPPS) using high Tc superconductor (HTS) opening switches, made of YBCO films, was successfully demonstrated. Nanosecond electrical pulses with a pulse compression ratio of 10 and a power gain of more than 40 were produced
