• High precision scalable power converter for accelerator magnets 

      Haugen, Krister Leonart; Papastergiou, Konstantinos; Asimakopoulos, Panagiotis; Peftitsis, Dimosthenis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      The lower conduction power losses and the positive temperature coefficient that favours parallel connections, make Silicon Carbide (SiC) metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) to be an excellent ...
    • Power Flow Control in a Modular Converter With Energy Storage 

      Haugen, Krister Leonart; Papastergiou, Konstantinos; Peftitsis, Dimosthenis (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Using modularized power converters with scalable energy storage in particle accelerators can be further enhanced with controls that can be adapted to optimise different design targets, such as to minimise the front-end ...
    • A Scalable DC/DC Converter Topology with Modularized Energy Storage for High Energy Physics Applications 

      Haugen, Krister Leonart; Papastergiou, Konstantinos; Peftitsis, Dimosthenis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      This article presents the design and control of a high-power modular dc–dc converter for electromagnets used in high energy physics applications. The fundamental building modules, herein called bricks, can either be connected ...
    • Scalable Regenerative Power Converters for Accelerator Magnets 

      Haugen, Krister Leonart (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2023:413, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Electromagnets are used at The European Centre for Nuclear Research (CERN) in high-energy physics experiments to direct the charged particle beams. They store significant amounts of energy in the magnetic fields and are ...
