Development of bipolar high-current correction magnet power supply for TPS facility

Abstract

Abstract Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is a globally renowned 3 GeV synchrotron accelerator light source. With a successful decade of operation, various subsystems have continuously improved and maintained an optimal research facility environment. Presently, there is a concerted effort towards energy conservation. This technical report focuses on the future development of the TPS-II Permanent Magnet Trim Coil Power Supply for the correction magnet, emphasizing a Bipole high-current correction magnet power source. According to the prototype specifications, the maximum output current is 20 A with an operating voltage of 48 V. This augmentation increases the amplitude of the magnetic field correction in the permanent magnet-associated Trim core, providing greater flexibility in manufacturing the permanent magnet correction coils. To design a power supply with high current and stability, the system adopts the Danisense DP50-IP-B DC Current Transducers (DCCT) as the current feedback component and Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistors (MOSFETs) as power switches in a full-bridge (H-bridge) configuration. The driving frequency is set at 40 kHz. Analog modulation control circuitry and protective circuits ensure precise control loop modulation. In the power laboratory, a hardware prototype circuit was constructed, featuring a 48 V input voltage, 20 A output current, a maximum power of 960W, and a current ripple component maintained within 100 μA. This experiment validates the control loop design of the prototype, showcasing the ability to achieve rapid and stable output current performance. Using a 1 V input reference signal for small-signal testing, the bandwidth displayed a -3 dB bandwidth of 8.51 kHz. Long-term current stability is within ± 10 ppm, and interface compatibility with the existing TPS correction magnet power source interface allows direct operation within the current system.
