Applied Energy, 2014, vol. 122, issue C, 161 pages

Abstract: Plasma sustained ignition systems are promising alternatives to conventional spark plugs for those applications where the conditions inside the combustion chamber are more severe for spark plug operation, like internal combustion engines with high compression ratio values or intake charge dilution.
