Abstract
A power generation system comprises a power source, a transformer module for converting a low voltage from the power source into a higher voltage, and a voltage-multiplier module for amplifying higher voltage from the transformer module. The transformer module comprises a number N of transformer units. Each transformer unit comprises at least one transformer, and each transformer comprises a magnetic core, a primary winding, and a secondary winding. Primary windings of the transformers in the transformer module are electrically coupled in parallel to the power source, secondary windings of the transformers of each transformer unit comprise a pair of output terminal, and N is equal to or greater than two. The voltage-multiplier module comprises the number N of multipliers. Each multiplier module comprises a positive and a negative input terminal, and a positive and a negative output terminal. Positive and negative terminals of each multiplier are electrically coupled to the positive and negative output terminals of a corresponding transformer unit, and positive and negative output terminals of the multipliers are connected in series.
