As fusion energy moves closer to commercialization, next-generation pulsed power systems are critical to enabling efficient, reliable, and scalable energy delivery. Central to this shift are impedance-matched Marx Generators (IMGs) and high-performance capacitors built with nanolayered polymer films.
These advanced films outperform BOPP, delivering high-voltage reliability above 135°C, lower losses, and extended lifetimes, making them ideal for fusion’s extreme demands. As lifetimes stretch into the billions of shots, scaling production and securing supply chains become a top priority.
This session will spotlight the breakthroughs in capacitor technology, examine readiness for mass deployment, and address the urgent supply chain gaps ahead of commercial fusion’s rise.
Key Takeaways:
- Nanolayer films vs. BOPP: A performance leap for fusion systems
- Commercial scale-up: Key timelines and progress
- Supply chain strategy: What must be done to ensure reliability
