Plasma technologies are considered a promising solution to answer challenges in combustion including the ignition and stabilization of lean flames, the control of thermoacoustic instabilities, the reduction of pollutant emissions, or the development of CO2-free combustion chambers with hydrogen or ammonia. In this article, we present an overview of illustrative experiments of plasma technologies for flame ignition and stabilization with a particular attention to Nanosecond Repetitively Pulsed discharges. We also discuss the fundamental thermal, chemical, and hydrodynamic processes of these discharges, as a basis to guide the design of plasma-assisted combustion systems and the development of predictive models.
