Power System Analysis.
Abstract
This report describes the system analysis performed on a lightweight, high-power power system. The system consists primarily of the turboalternator, rectifier/filter, and fault protection circuits. The determination of and effects from various alternator faults are described. Calculations for the filter weight and volume and a grounding and shielding scheme are presented. A design concept for a load protection crowbar is developed. Because a small, high voltage power supply is required for an electron-beam gun, methods of generating high voltages in small packages are reviewed. Also included is a review of the state of the art of lightweight power sources, including advanced conventional, permanent magnet, and superconducting alternators, magnetohydrodynamic generators (MHD), and batteries.
