The HVDC-Native Power Interface - MetroVolt to the Data-Center Bus
Abstract
A fusion generator built around direct energy conversion is intrinsically a high-voltage DC source. About 54% of gross output leaves the converter as DC at 50–250 kV, reaching an 800 V rack bus in 2–3 power-electronic stages (vs 4–5 for an AC plant). Load-following belongs on the ms-class electronic path: a 4.14 gross/net amplifier makes plasma throttling expensive. Economics/siting held internal.
