Abstract
In the high luminosity phase of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) the selection of the most suitable architecture able to supply the instrumentation of the experiments represents a critical task today. The power conversion units will have to supply low voltages and high currents to the loads with reduced transmission losses and, moreover, their design will have to face the critical demand of efficiency, robustness and limited size together with the need to operate in hostile environment. The paper discusses the most promising solutions in the power supply distribution networks which could be implemented in the upgraded detectors at the High Luminosity LHC collider. The proposed topologies have been selected by considering their tolerance to high background magnetic field and nuclear radiations as well as their limited electromagnetic noise emission. The analysis focuses on the description of the power supplies for noble liquid calorimeters, such as the Atlas LAr calorimeters, though several outcomes of this research can be applied to other detectors of the future LHC experiments.
