The key issue in such systems is to obtain an even voltage distribution between individual switching elements; static, and above all dynamic, which is to ensure that they work in the area of safe values recommended by the manufacturer. The postulated method of achieving and maintaining the proper dynamic voltage distribution is the software control of the switching moment based on the data collected from the entire switch system.
Research task: for the adopted architecture of the connector, creating its numerical model, determining the data profile for acquisition from specific nodes of the system, developing a control algorithm that ultimately ensures the conservative nature of the model in a specific range of changes in operating conditions (including load parameters, temperature).
The current and adaptive correction of the commutation moments for each individual element can be performed in real time by the computing unit based on data collected from a signal acquisition system working in parallel and simultaneously on all elements of the switch. The design and implementation will show new possibilities in the field of designing high-power pulse switches for special, high reliability devices.
