A major concern associated to the massive connection of distributed energy resources is the increasing share of power electronic interfaces resulting in the global inertia reduction of power systems. The recent literature advocated the use…

In this paper, we analyse the behaviour of a buck converter network that contains arbitrary, up to mild regularity assumptions, loads. Our analysis of the network begins with the study of the current dynamics; we propose a novel Lyapunov…

As the pre-injector of the LHC injector chain, the proton linac at CERN is required to provide a high-intensity (180mA) beam to the Proton Synchrotron Booster. The results of measurements at this intensity will be presented. Furthermore,…

The multi-bunch injection has been adopt at SSRF which greatly increases the injection rate and reduces injection time compared to the single bunch injection. The multi-bunch injection will massively reduce the beam failure time during…
