ITER-FEAT Operation

چکیده

ITER is planned to be the first fusion experimental reactor in the world operating for research in physics and engineering. The first 10 years’ operation will be devoted primarily to physics issues at low neutron fluence and the following 10 years’ operation to engineering testing at higher fluence. ITER can accommodate various plasma configurations and plasma operation modes such as inductive high Q modes, long pulse hybrid modes, non-inductive steady-state modes, with large ranges of plasma current, density, beta and fusion power, and with various heating and current drive methods. This flexibility will provide an advantage for coping with uncertainties in the physics database, in studying burning plasmas, in introducing advanced features and in optimizing the plasma performance for the different programme objectives. Remote sites will be able to participate in the ITER experiment. This concept will provide an advantage not only in operating ITER for 24 hours per day but also in involving the world-wide fusion communities and in promoting scientific competition among the Parties.

Prediction of Performance in Iter-feat

Recently, the technical objectives of ITER were redefined aiming at a cost reduction of -50% from the 1998 ITER design. Machine parameters that would satisfy the revised technical requirements under the engineering constraints were specified using a system code. The peqormances of the 1998 ITER and a redefined machine were studied and compared. As a result of these studies, final machine parame...

Overview of ITER-FEAT — The future international burning plasma experiment

The focus of effort in ITER EDA since 1998 has been on the development of a new design to meet revised technical objectives and a cost reduction target of about 50% of the previously accepted cost estimate. Drawing on the design solutions already developed, and using the latest physics results and outputs from technology R&D projects, the Joint Central Team and Home Teams, working together, hav...

Consistency of Proposed Burning Plasma Scenarios with Alpha Particle Transport Induced by Alfvénic Instabilities

The stability of proposed burning-plasma scenarios (for ITER-FEAT, IGNITOR and FIRE) with respect to shear-Alfvén modes possibly driven by fusionproduced alpha particles is investigated along with the effects of such modes on the transport and confinement properties of the alpha particles themselves. The results of numerical particle-in-cell model simulations show that one of the proposed scena...

Stabilization of Burn Conditions in an ITER FEAT like Tokamak with Uncertainties in the Helium Ash Confinement Time

In this work we demostrate using a two-temperature volume averaged 0D model that robust stabilization, with regard the helium ash confinement time, of the burn conditions of a tokamak reactor with the ITER FEAT design parameters can be achieved using Radial Basis Neural Networks (RBNN). Alpha particle thermalization time delay is taken into account in this model. The control actions implemented...

Physics of plasma control towards steady-state operation of ITER

ITER is a fusion experimental reactor to show scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy. It is designed to produce fusion power of 500MW for 300-500 seconds with fusion energy gain Q at least 10 (Q ≥10) [1], [2]. ITER should show scientific and technological feasibility of fusion energy as one step to DEMO, which produces electricity by fusion energy. Although design of DEMO wil...
