High‑voltage electrostatic precipitation and fume purification represent core technologies for industrial flue gas treatment, catering fume purification and dust pollution control. By charging dust and oil fume particles inside a high‑voltage electrostatic field, particles are adsorbed onto collecting electrodes under electric force to realize flue gas purification. The high‑voltage power supply acts as the core driving unit, delivering 0~100 kV DC high voltage for electrostatic field excitation. Its output characteristics, wide load adaptability, spark control accuracy and energy efficiency directly determine purification performance, power consumption and long‑term reliability, making it a key energy‑saving component in flue gas and fume treatment systems.
Electrostatic precipitation and fume purification impose distinctive technical challenges: 1.Wide dynamic load adaptability: Dust concentration, humidity, temperature and flue gas composition fluctuate continuously; oil fume density and particle size vary drastically with cooking conditions. Load impedance changes rapidly from dozens of MΩ to near short‑circuit, accompanied by frequent spark discharge, flashover and arcing. The power supply must operate stably across no‑load to full short‑circuit with ultra‑fast dynamic response. 2.High‑precision spark detection & control: Spark discharge severely reduces purification efficiency, while sustained arcing damages equipment. Microsecond‑level spark detection and optimized suppression strategies are required to extinguish sparks instantly and recover field voltage rapidly, maximizing average electric field strength while protecting hardware. 3.High energy efficiency for continuous operation: Industrial precipitators run 24/7, with energy cost dominating operational expenditure. High conversion efficiency and automatic adaptive operation reduce power consumption by over 30% compared with traditional power frequency solutions. 4.Harsh environment durability: Long‑term stable operation under high temperature, high humidity, heavy dust and corrosive conditions requires comprehensive environmental protection, strong EMC immunity and MTBF ≥20,000 hours. 5.Intelligent environmental compliance: Full compatibility with DCS and environmental monitoring platforms enables remote visualization, data uploading and intelligent maintenance to meet national emission standards and digital supervision requirements. Conventional power frequency high‑voltage supplies suffer from low efficiency, slow spark response and poor working condition adaptability; early high‑frequency supplies feature simplistic spark logic and insufficient reliability under harsh environments. All designs comply strictly with GB/T 13931‑2017, GB 18483‑2001, GB 7251.1‑2013 and HJ 2028‑2013 to satisfy high‑efficiency, reliable and intelligent flue gas treatment demands.

It supports industrial electrostatic precipitators for power, steel, cement and metallurgy industries as well as commercial and industrial oil fume purification equipment, delivering standardized design guidelines for domestic high‑end environmental protection upgrades.
Targeting wide load compatibility, ultra‑high efficiency and precise spark suppression, the main architecture adopts three‑phase active PFC rectification + full‑bridge LLC resonant inversion + high‑frequency high‑voltage rectification + fully digital adaptive control, integrated with intelligent spark algorithms and working‑condition energy optimization. It achieves overall efficiency above 95%, microsecond spark response and stable full‑load operation, saving 30%~50% energy versus traditional power frequency power supplies and fully meeting industrial dedusting and fume purification requirements. Five core design principles are defined.
1.High‑efficiency wide‑load dedicated topology: Front‑end three‑phase Vienna active PFC realizes unity power factor with PF ≥0.99 and THD ≤3%, suppressing ±20% grid fluctuation and stabilizing DC bus voltage. The intermediate full‑bridge LLC resonant inverter operates at 20 kHz~100 kHz with full ZVS/ZCS soft switching from no‑load to short‑circuit, minimizing switching loss and achieving ≥95% overall efficiency, over 30% higher than power frequency alternatives. The inherent short‑circuit tolerance prevents component damage during frequent electric field arcing. The rear high‑voltage rectification stage adopts full‑wave or symmetric voltage‑doubling structures to cover 0~60 kV for fume purification and 0~100 kV for industrial dedusting, utilizing low forward‑drop fast‑recovery high‑voltage rectifiers to reduce conduction loss. Multi‑channel modular design supports independent power control for multi‑field precipitators, improving overall efficiency and system redundancy with isolated fault tolerance.
2.Wide‑range adaptive load control: A composite fully digital framework comprising outer voltage loop, inner current loop and load impedance feedforward is implemented on an industrial DSP+FPGA dual core. FPGA executes high‑speed sampling, PWM modulation and hardware spark detection with ≥200 kHz loop update frequency; DSP processes core algorithms, spark recognition and adaptive regulation. Deadbeat predictive current control delivers ≤10 μs response to suppress current surge during abrupt load changes. Fuzzy adaptive PID voltage regulation maintains stable non‑oscillating output across extreme working conditions. Real‑time impedance calculation predicts spark risks and dynamically adjusts frequency and duty cycle to adapt to fluctuating flue gas and fume characteristics. Four switchable operating modes (constant voltage, constant current, constant power, intermittent energization) optimize performance under diverse dust density scenarios.
3.High‑precision spark detection & intelligent hierarchical suppression: A complete spark management workflow including detection, graded suppression, fast recovery and self‑optimization ensures maximum purification efficiency with full equipment protection. Dual hardware‑software detection achieves ultra‑sensitive identification: independent high‑speed comparators trigger protection within 1 μs upon sharp current rise or voltage drop; 1 MHz FPGA sampling combined with wavelet feature recognition distinguishes corona discharge, spark, flashover and arcing to predict potential arc formation at an early stage. Five‑level graded response handles micro sparks via mild voltage reduction without power interruption; moderate sparks trigger short drive gating suspension for rapid recovery; severe arcing activates immediate shutdown plus active discharge to extinguish arcs safely. Adaptive recovery adjusts voltage rising speed dynamically based on spark frequency; self‑learning algorithms continuously optimize threshold and recovery parameters to maintain operation near critical spark voltage, balancing high average electric field strength and stable safety.

SiC MOSFETs cut switching loss by over 70%; SiC Schottky high‑voltage rectifiers eliminate reverse recovery loss; nanocrystalline magnetic cores and Litz winding minimize high‑frequency thermal loss. Working‑condition adaptive energy control connects dust/fume concentration, temperature, humidity and flow sensors to adjust operating parameters intelligently: boosting voltage for heavy pollution and lowering voltage or enabling intermittent energization for low load to guarantee emission compliance with minimal consumption. Intermittent power suppresses back corona significantly for high‑resistivity dust while reducing energy use by more than 30%. Multi‑field collaborative optimization distributes power reasonably from inlet high‑density zones to outlet low‑density zones for overall energy minimization. Peak‑valley tariff adaptation automatically shifts operation strategies to lower long‑term operational electricity costs.

Core optimization focuses on intelligent spark control, energy efficiency enhancement and back‑corona suppression: Full‑cycle spark feature modeling based on massive field data optimizes recognition accuracy via machine learning to eliminate misjudgment. Pre‑emptive voltage adjustment suppresses spark initiation before visible discharge occurs, lowering spark frequency and raising average field voltage. Five‑level graded response balances protection and efficiency reliably. Adaptive spark frequency control maintains optimal critical operating voltage dynamically. Coupled dedusting‑energy mathematical models find the lowest consumption under emission constraints.
