NorCC: Student Seminar

Tuesday 1 Feb 2022, 11:45 → 13:00 Europe/Zurich

Heidi Sandaker (University of Oslo (NO)), Nina Waage (University of Oslo (NO))

 

We in NorCC want to give all young researchers and students the possibility of presenting for the Norwegian CERN community.
This will happen on the first Tuesday every month (12 pm - 1 pm).

A round of discussion will follow the presentation. 

 

11:45 → 12:15 “Diagnostics and Prognostics for Power Electronics Converters in Large-scale Accelerator Facilities”

The power converters of the accelerators are one of the most vulnerable part of the accelerator facilities. Therefore the focus is to enhance the reliability the approximately 5000 power converters (1kW up to 60MW) of CERN. This requires a deep understanding of the different ageing mechanisms of power electronics (semiconductors, capacitors and auxiliary). Different approaches for measurement and data analyses get evaluated to enable an appropriate condition monitoring. Moreover, accelerated ageing tests for components are planned in NTNU laboratories.

Speaker: Timm Felix Baumann (Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) (NO))
