Study on the recovery circuit based on multi-module STRETCH meat grinder

Inductive pulse power supplies attract interests since their energy densities are one order of magnitude higher than those of capacitive ones at the same power output capacity. STRETCH meat grinder was put forward by IAT (Institute of Advanced Technology). Energy Recovery circuit was developed to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the energy loss of the whole circuit. The residual energy can be recovered by triggering the related thyristors. Simulation results show that the topology with energy recovery circuit can recover most of the residual energy by triggering thyristors and has potential applications for high energy systems in the future.
