Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript entitled 'Real time power control in a high voltage power supply for Dielectric Barrier Discharge reactors: implementation strategy and load thermal analysis' has been completely reviewed. I have some suggestions that may help to improve the paper quality further:
1- In abstract, the gap between the literature and this paper is not mentioned. Authors only stated that a control strategy to ensure constant average power operation of the device used in this paper. What is the strategy?
2- Does your focus on real time power control in a high voltage power supply or topologies or any new method or results which have new prominent advantages compared to other approaches of controlling systems?
3- How do you argue that this method works in other reactors with nonlinear and time dependent loads? For instance, what is the fundamental difference between balanced and unbalanced loads in push-pull converters that makes your article unique?
4- A significant advantage and results are not observed from the simulation to reflect the performance of the presented open loop or controlled operation strategies. What is the main contribution of the analysis in this work?
5- Where do the values of the high voltage Vout and charge QCm waveforms in Figure 5 come from?
6- A minor English editing is needed.
7- In conclusion, it is better to provide the main motivation, contribution and results of the paper. Please rewrite this section.
