Abstract :
In pulsed power system, mechanical characteristic means the structure of the plasma reactor, and impedance matching between the pulse generator and the plasma reactor means the electrical characteristics. It is a very important issue in the industry because impedance matching is closely related to the efficiency and reliability of the pulsed power system. In this paper, the design and implementation for improving the energy density of the wire-plate plasma reactor are presented. The system configuration, impedance characteristics and structures of the plasma reactor are described, and the output characteristic of the plasma reactor according to the structure of the wires and plates is analyzed. The plasma reactor model is realized on the simulation tool, and the simulation results are compared with the experiment data. Based on the theoretical analysis and the simulated model, impedance matching between the wire-plate plasma reactor and the pulsed power generator can be more fully achieved.
