    摘要: Certain embodiments provide a system configured to heat a subsurface formation. The system includes an electrical power supply. A heater section includes one or more electrical conductors electrically coupled to the electrical power supply. At least one of the electrical conductors includes ferromagnetic material. The heater section provides a first heat output when time-varying electrical current is applied to the heater section below a selected temperature, and a second heat output approximately at and above the selected temperature during use. The second heat output is reduced compared to the first heat output. The system is configured to allow heat to transfer from the heater section to a part of the formation. The electrical power supply is configured to provide a relatively constant amount of time-varying electrical current that remains within about 15% of a selected constant current value when a load of the electrical conductors changes.

    摘要: A heater system may include an alternating current supply and an electrical conductor. Alternating current may be applied to one or more electrical conductors at a frequency between about 100 Hz and about 1000 Hz. The electrical conductors may be located in a formation. The electrical conductors may resistively heat upon application of the alternating electrical current. At least one of the electrical conductors may include an electrically resistive ferromagnetic material. The electrical conductor may provide a reduced amount of heat above or near a selected temperature. Heat may transfer from the electrical conductor to a part of formation.

    摘要: A varactor diode includes a contact layer having a first conductivity type, a voltage blocking layer having the first conductivity and a first net doping concentration on the contact layer, a blocking junction on the voltage blocking layer, and a plurality of discrete doped regions in the voltage blocking layer and spaced apart from the carrier injection junction. The plurality of discrete doped regions have the first conductivity type and a second net doping concentration that is higher than the first net doping concentration, and the plurality of discrete doped regions are configured to modulate the capacitance of the varactor diode as a depletion region of the varactor diode expands in response to a reverse bias voltage applied to the blocking junction. Related methods of forming a varactor diode are also disclosed.
