A focus on clean energy transition
Michigan-based consulting firm Ducker Carlisle has released a report that outlines projected developments and opportunities as well as potential problems in the global shift to cleaner power. Global Energy Transition Outlook predicts that market growth will happen not only in large-scale utility upgrades but also in small- and mid-scale electrification projects.

The ion source for along pulse operating diagnostic neutral beam injector has been developed. The ion source has to form an 8 A, 60 keV hydrogen ion beam. The ion source consists of an RF-plasma driver and a four grids ion-optical system. Both ion-optical system and plasma driver have an augmented water-cooling system. Geometry of the ion-optical system was optimized by the numerical simulations in order to achieve the minimal beam angular divergence. The performance of the developed water-cooling system of the ion source was numerically simulated. Design of the developed ion source and experimental and numerical simulations results are presented in the paper.
