Square function analysis of the Inductor-Converter Bridge
The transfer of energy between two superconducting coils can be controlled with an Inductor-Converter Bridge (ICB) by changing the relative timing between the storage side bridge and the load side bridge. The average voltages on the coils have been previously derived as a function of relative timing between the two halves of the bridges and the relative currents in the two coils using a one-line, harmonic current source representation of each coil and its bridge network. Since the coil current in each of the ICB phases appears as bipolar rectangular pulses, an analysis based on unit step functions has been developed. The unit step function analysis leads to simple polynomial expressions relating the average coil voltages to relative timing. The new derivations are shown to have the same harmonic representation as previously developed. The polynomial expressions are more compatible to microprocessor control than are the harmonic function expressions.
