High Voltage High Current Pulsed Electric Fields (HVHC-PEF) is a promising technology for the non-thermal pasteurization of foods and a sound complement or replacement to traditional thermal pasteurization, which inactivates bacteria and other microorganisms harmful to humans, but also degrades color, flavor, texture and nutrients. Foods can be pasteurized with pulsed electric fields at ambient or refrigerated temperatures for a short treatment time of seconds or less and the fresh-like quality of food is preserved. Although successful is laboratory tests, applying HVHC-PEF to food pasteurization on a large scale presents many unresolved engineering problems. In this paper the design considerations for 25kV 1kA class HVHC-PEF pasteurization equipment are anlyzed and experimental results are discussed.

The non-thermal pasteurization of foods using High Voltage High Current Pulsed Electric Fields (HVHC-PEF) is a promising technology and a sound complement or replacement to traditional thermal pasteurization. The conventional thermal method also inactivates bacteria and other microorganisms harmful to humans, but degrades natural color, flavor, texture and nutrients. At this point, a nonthermal pasteurization technique, HVPEF is thought to be a new processing technique which is able to produce a good quality foods nutritional as well as sensuous. In this paper, the system for HVHC-PEF pasteurization is presented. It use square wave pulse instead of exponential ones. So, power rating of system is reduced considerably. Design considerations for 20kV 500A class equipment are analyzed and experimental results are discussed.

The high current pulsed power systems(PPS) for rail guns, ET and ETC accelerators require many components of very high cost. If one failed to select component specifications based on optimal design, cost effective and reliable PPS could not be obtained. It is very significant to study a preliminary circuit scheme and to determine optimal specifications via circuit simulation before constructing the PPS based on modulized capacitor banks. The optimal crowbar resistor value, module inductance was determined in view of energy loss, the voltage reversal of capacitors and the transient current of crowbar diodes.

The most important question is how to use which kind of switch in pulsed power generation. There are many kinds of commercial closing switches, which have advantages and disadvantages. The most popular closing switch is the spark gap, but it has a disadvantage in life time, because of erosion of electrodes by arc heating. The Rotary Arc Gap (RAG) switch, especially Walkie-Edgar type RAG switch, was proposed to solve such problems in spark gap. It has a simple and special structure for arc moving caused from self-induced electromagnetic force, because moving arc makes less erosion on the electrodes. In this study we have made an Walkie-Edgar type RAG switch, tested the switching with capacitive energy storage system, and measured rotating arc speed in different peak current.

2002년 21세기 프론티어 연구개발사업으로 착수한 양성자기반공학기술개발사업이 2012년말 완료되었다. 이 사업을 통하여 이온원, RFQ, DTL, 초전도 가속관, 빔라인, 고주파 시스템, 제어 시스템 등 양성자 및 이온 가속기의 핵심 요소기술을 개발하고 100 MeV 선형 양성자가속기 및 이온가속기를 제작하여 경주에건설한 양성자속기연구센터에 설치하고 사업을 마무리하였다. 2013년 상반기에 냉각시스템 등 부대시설의 시운전, 양성자가속기와 20 MeV 및 100 MeV 빔라인 각 1기를 포함한 모든 시설의 시운전을 마무리하고, 한국원자력안전기술원의 방사선안전시설검사를 거쳐 7월부터 운영을 착수하였다. 양성자가속기는 2013년말 까지 총 2,290 시간을 가동하여 937건의 이용자 빔 서비스를 제공하였다. 기체, 금속, 대전류 이온을 공급할 수 있는 이온가속기 3대는 기업체의 공정 및 제품개발을 위한 이용을 중심으로 622건의 이용자 빔 서비스를 제공하였다. 2014년도는 양성자가속기는 연간 2,500 시간 가동, 빔 서비스 1,100건을 목표로 하고 있으며, 현재 20 MeV 및 100 MeV 각 1기인 뿐인 빔라인 증설을 준비하고자 한다. 이온가속기는 상반기에만 이용자 빔 서비스를 제공하고 2014년 11월 완공될 빔이용연구동으로 이전 설치하여 보다 양질의 이온빔을 공급할 수 있도록 장치를 보완 할예정이다. 더불어 2015년에는 3 MeV 헬륨빔과 1 MeV 기체 이온빔을 제공할 수 있는 장치도 추가로 설치할 예정이다. 빔이용연구동 및 이온가속기 업그레드가 완료되면 보다 다양한 양질의 이온빔을공급하여, 특히 중소기업의 제품 개발에 도움을 줄 수 있도록노력할 예정이다. 양성자가속기연구센터는 장기 비전인 펄스형 중성자원의 구축을 실현하고자 노력을 지속할 것이다. 미국의 SNS 및 일본의 J-PARC 파쇄 중성자원은우수한 연구 성과를 생산하기 시작하였고 우리나라도 이에 대한 수요가 생겨나도 있다. 충분한 수요가 형성되면 이미 확보한 부지와 초전도 가속기 기술을 활용하여 단시간 내에 펄스형 중성자원 구축이 가능할 것이다. 펄스형 중성자원이 구축되면 양성자가속기연구센터는 당초 목표한 양성자, 중성자 및 다양한 종의 이온을 한 사이트에서 제공하여, 입자빔을 이용한 다양한 연구개발에서 상당한 시너지 효과를 낼 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

The waveforms of high voltage and current pulse were measured using laser measuring systems. Existing potential transformer and current transformer have low measuring precision because of resonance phenomena and waveform distortion due to the magnetic saturation. But using laser measurement, it is possible to obtain clear waveforms which have no effect of distortion and harmonic resonances. And electromagnetic interferences (EMI) in the measuring of high voltage and current pulse, but the optical measuring systems are not subjet to the influence of EMI. Using laser measuring systems based upon Pockels effect and Faraday effect is not free from any errors yet, but it could replace existing measuring systems by routine experiments and error corrections. And it needs that more research and development of optical crystals and equipments would be taken.
