A New Application of Power Electronics : the Ion Thruster HV Drive / F. Belloni, P. Maranesi, M. Riva. - In: HAIT JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. - ISSN 1565-4990. - 2:5-6(2005), pp. 762-775.
Abstract:
The paper addresses the high voltage drive for ionic motors on board of satellites. A modular solution for HV generators driving the
radio-frequency ion thrusters is proposed taking into account the peculiarities of the plasma load. The dynamic characteristics of the HV
power cells are described all over their operating ranges. Analytic results and computer simulations show suitability of the devices for
reaching sufficient stability margins through appropriate feedback.
