Design and Development of a 150 kV High-Voltage Direct Current Power Supply Based on Digital Control

To address the issues of low voltage levels and insufficient reliability in dynamic regulation and voltage stabilization in existing high-voltage power supplies for electron-curtain accelerators, this paper presents a 150 kV/30 kW DC high-voltage power supply specifically designed for electron-curtain accelerators. The main circuit employs an LC high-frequency resonant topology and a step-up transformer with eight secondary windings, utilizing a parallel step-up and series output architecture to increase the output voltage level. During the charging phase, a dual-closed-loop frequency conversion scheme combined with duty cycle feedforward is employed to accelerate charging speed, while the voltage stabilization phase utilizes hysteresis burst control to improve accuracy. Simulation results indicate that the system can charge to 155 kV in 102 ms, with a voltage ripple less than 0.1%, a linear regulation of 0.01%, and a load regulation of 0.5%. Tests on a low-voltage prototype confirmed that the power devices can achieve zero-current soft switching, with a resonant current peak of 40 A and overall efficiency reaching 96%. The accompanying filament power supply can stably output 24 V/20 A, and the closed-loop voltage regulation is stable and reliable, providing technical support for the engineering application of high-voltage power supplies in high-power electron beam accelerators.
