PPSTA 2024 – Introduction

Posted on August 24, 2024August 24, 2024 by sanjjay

DAE-BRNS 1st National Conference on Pulsed Power Science, Technology and Application

PPSTA-2024

12th – 14th September 2024

Venue: Semiar Hall, BARC Facility, Visakhapatnam 531011 (Andhra Pradesh) India

Pulsed Power reserch involves advanced techniques of energy storage, pulse compression, switching and transmitting of high voltage, high current pulses of amplitudes up to MV and MA range being delivered to various loads in microsecond to nanosecond regime. This conditioned pulsed electrical input is of great importance in driving many applications such as particle accelerators, high power microwave generators, EMP simulators, electromagnetic launchers laser drives, high energy density physics studies, generation of mega-gauss fields, nuclear fusion and in industrial manufacturing technology. This conference aims to provide a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the field of pulsed power science, technology and applications and facilitate the exchange of knowledge among research organisations, academic institutions and industry across various current and emerging domains in pulsed power.
