T. R. Jow,F.W. MacDougall,J.B. Ennis,X.H. Yang,M. A. Schneider,Charles Scozzie,J. D. White,J. R. MacDonald,M. C. Schalnat,R.A. Cooper,S.P.S. Yen +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the advances and reflect what works so far to think about the future path of pulsed power capacitors and present a review of the current state-of-the-art.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Electrical breakdown in capacitor dielectric films: Scaling laws and the role of self-healing
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the limitations of scaling up such results to high energy density capacitors as well as demonstrate the effect of self-healing and its necessity in high energy-density, high-total-energy devices.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Thermal modeling of high temperature power conversion capacitors
TL;DR: In this article, the thermal behavior of high temperature, high frequency capacitors with the intent of assisting both component and system designers is investigated with the purpose of assisting component and systems designers.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Development and performance of high temperature power conversion capacitors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe life testing of capacitors with energy densities as high as 0.2 J/cc at >125°C and 0.3 J/c at 100°C.
