The Harmonic Analysis of RMP Coil Power Supply in EAST TOKAMAK

In EAST TOKAMAK, resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) coils, which are powered by RMP coil power supply (PS), are set to research edge localized mode, resistive wall mode and error field correction. In order to meet the requirements of fast response and output voltage ripple proposed by physical experimenters, the structure of multiple modules using cascaded carrier phase-shifted PWM H-bridges is adopted, which enhances the equal switch-frequency of the PS and improves the quality of output voltage. In the paper, theoretical calculation applying Fourier analysis is given to analyze its harmonics. Both simulation results on Matlab and test results of output voltage ripple show that the RMP coil PS can meet the requirements.
