PERFORMING ORGANIZATION NAME(S) AND ADDRESS(ES)University In this introduction to the Special Issue on pulsed power and its applications, background information is provided for the nonspecialist to better understand the many challenges in designing pulsed power systems, and the wide diversity of applications that are now emerging. The approach to providing a tutorial on pulsed power technology is to make available to the reader the paper written by J.C. Martin which appeared in a Special Section of the PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE on pulsed power technology in June 1992. That paper is supplemented in this introduction with additional information that complements many of the invited papers composing this Special Issue. SUBJECT TERMSBioelectrics, explosive pulsed power, highpower microwave, intense beams, plasma pinches, pulsed power, radiography, ultrawideband microwaves GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING SF 298The Report Documentation Page (RDP) is used for announcing and cataloging reports.

This paper presents the design process and test results of a high-temperature superconducting pulsed-power transformer (HTSPPT). The primary winding of the HTSPPT is constructed out of several double-pancake-type coils connected in series. Every double-pancake-type coil is made of Bi2223/Ag tapes. The secondary winding is constructed out of several singlepancake-type coils made of normal conductors. The configuration of the HTSPPT is designed such that the primary and secondary coils are arranged in interleaving. The testing experiments show that a high-current impulse could be achieved with a small current in the primary, which proves that the designed test circuit and the configuration of HTSPPT are feasible.Index Terms-Inductive storage, pulsed current, pulsed power, superconducting pulsed transformer.

“…Some institutes, e.g. Institute for Advanced Technology (IAT) at the university of Texas and German-French research Institute of Saint Louis (ISL), have made great progresses in the designing, analysis, and implementation of IPPS [1]- [4]. Inductors are the core elements in IPPS, of which the energy density and the resistance are two key factors in the designing, analysis and implementation of IPPS.…”

The structural parameters directly affect the energy density and the total resistance of the inductors used in the inductive pulse power supply (IPPS). In this paper, we expound the relationship between the structural parameters and electrical performances of the inductors used in IPPS, and introduce the implementation of the inductors for the experiment in Slow TRansfer of Energy Through Capacitive Hybrid (STRETCH) meat grinder circuit using Air-core Flat Spirals of Strip Coil (AFSSC). Then, we work out a program which can obtain the optimal structural parameters of the inductors with the highest energy density under the condition of providing the charging and discharging current as well as the inductance in the primary and the secondary side. The correctness of the program is verified by the measured values of the real inductors. At the end, on the condition of constant current density, we put forward a rule that along with the increase of system energy, the energy density became higher and the resistance of the inductors became lower.
