  • A Method and Apparatus for Inductive Amplification of Ion Beam Energy

    Type: 
    Product

    Researchers in Prof. Mark Cappelli\'s laboratory at Stanford have developed an efficient compact simple electromagnetic particle accelerator that accelerates plasma to very high velocities. This is achieved by electromagnetically accelerating a space-charge neutral plasma instead of electric acceleration of a pure ion gas. This results in much higher particle densities (orders of magnitude higher than with pure ion accelerators) and lower required power supply voltages.

  • Transformer-less Unified Power Flow Controller

    Type: 
    Product
    Objective:
    Technology:

    The ability to store and shift electrical power over time is becoming more important as economies increasingly adopt renewable power sources. Meshed AC power grids have limited controllability and cannot effectively handle congestion of key transmission lines during sporadic peaks and valleys of input power such as that produced by solar and wind sources. Conventional unified power flow controllers (UPFCs) mitigate the congestion problem by balancing the load across transmission lines but require expensive large transformers with high losses.
