An Isolated High-Voltage High-Frequency Pulsed Power Converter for Plasma Generation by Changqi You A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Engineering (Electrical Engineering) in the University of Michigan-Dearborn 2018
ABSTRACT
This thesis reviews plasma technology, pulsed power technology, basic structures of pulsed power
generator and semiconductor devices. Based on above, an isolated high voltage pulsed power
converter with high repetitive frequency for low power level application such as ozone generation
is proposed in this thesis. The hardware for proposed pulsed power converter is well set up. The
output pulsed voltage can reach -12 kV with pulse frequency up to 15 kHz. The pulse interval is
designed as 1.6 µs.
The proposed pulsed power converter system could be divided into two main parts, which are
boost converter stage and a resonant stage. This thesis detailly introduces the structure and
operating principles of the boost converter stage and the resonant stage. As for the boost converter
stage, both analog control and digital control are applied to achieve the boost voltage function and
power limiting function. As for the resonant stage, a pulse generating signal and spark protection
function is achieved with a DSP control.
This thesis also detailly gives an analysis for parasitic parameters of the proposed pulsed power
converter system. Parasitic capacitances of SiC MOSFETs will affect spike performance of the
proposed pulsed power converter system. A mathematical model of describing a relationship
between parasitic capacitances of SiC MOSFETs and the spike voltage of the proposed pulsed
power converter is proposed in this thesis. A comparison test is conducted to prove the proposed
analysis.
