Abstract-This literature review addresses inductive pulsed power generators and their major components. Different inductive storage designs like solenoids, toroids and force-balanced coils are briefly presented and their advantages and disadvantages are mentioned. Special emphasis is given to inductive circuit topologies which have been investigated in railgun research such as the XRAM, meat grinder or pulse transformer topologies. One section deals with opening switches as they are indispensable for inductive storages and another one deals briefly with SMES for pulsed power applications. In the end, the most relevant inductor systems which were realized in respect to railgun research are summarized in a table, together with its main characteristics.

Inductive pulsed power supply (IPPS) is a promising type of power supplies for electromagnetic launch, but its advantage in energy density is strongly restricted by the primary power source. Fortunately, batteries become a suitable and practical choice for the primary source. In this paper, the working process of battery powering IPPS is analysed in detail. Various indicators of the charging performance are calculated, which are then proved to be irrelevant to most of the parameters of IPPS. Based on this, an optimization method for battery and IPPS system is proposed, in which the charging and discharging processes can be decoupled. And for the decoupled battery charging process, the bi-objective optimization model is suggested. Several examples illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed optimization methods. In order to further improve the performance of the battery and IPPS system, the inherent time constant of the inductors and the output power density of the battery cell should be increased.

“…Earlier works by Sterret et al [1] or Pokryvailo et al [2] employed huge battery banks and bulky heavy-duty DC contactors or explosive switches, respectively. A way of designing compact inductive storage systems is to use a limited charging current and to amplify it by an appropriate circuitry.…”

For all-electric mobile systems, inductive pulsed power generators represent a very attractive alternative to capacitive generators. This is due to their high energy density, low charging voltage, short charging time and to the fact that they can easily be combined with modern high-power (lithium-ion) batteries. In particular, storage coils embedded in a so-called XRAM circuitry can be used to produce a current pulse, the amplitude of which is a multiple of the charging current supplied by the batteries.In this contribution we summarize the development of XRAM generators at ISL up to now and present some unpublished results. Special emphasis is laid on semiconductor-based opening switches and coils with high energy density. Both are core elements of XRAM generators and have to be designed for very high currents (several tens of kiloamperes).
