High Voltage-Energy Storage Capacitors and Their Applications

This book presents select proceedings of the conference on 'High Voltage-Energy Storage Capacitors and Applications (HV-ESCA 2023)' that was jointly organized by Beam Technology Development Group (BTDG) and Electronics & Instrumentation Group (E&IG), BARC at DAE Convention Centre, Anushakti Nagar from 22^nd to 24^th June 2023. The book includes papers on topics, such as energy storage technologies (capacitor & battery), HV insulation & dielectric material, electromagnetic accelerators (rail and coil gun), electron beam accelerators, generation of fast rising voltage pulses, topologies & control schemes in power modules, pulsed nuclear radiation generators, electromagnetic welding, EMI & EMC, HV transmission lines, insulation material, and plasma generators. Papers included in this book impart better understanding of phenomena and intricacies of high voltage-energy storage capacitors and its applications to practicing engineers and researchers and update the latest information on interdisciplinary trending techniques. The book can be a valuable reference for beginners, researchers, and professionals interested in energy storage, pulsed power, and allied fields.

Dr. Archana Sharma, FNAE,FNASc,FIE,FIET(UK); Outstanding Scientist & Director, Beam Technology Development Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, joined the department in 1988 through 31st Batch of BARC Training School. She has been recognized as fellows of INAE, IEI, and IET(UK). She is a recipient of Homi Bhabha Science & Technology Excellence Award and many group achievement awards. She has been selected one among the top 75 women engineers in India by PSA to GoI and British High Commission jointly in 2022. She has been awarded 'EMC Engineer of the Year' in 2023. She is a recognized Ph.D. guide of Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI) and Mumbai University (MU). Her current work includes efforts to develop indigenous BARC technologies and deploying them for commercialization through inter-ministry collaborations.
