Transport Simulations of KSTAR Advanced Tokamak Scenarios
نویسندگان
چکیده
Predictive modeling of KSTAR operation scenarios are performed with the aim of developing high performance steady state operation scenarios. Various transport codes are employed for this study. Firstly, steady state operation capabilities are investigated with time dependent simulations using a free-boundary transport code. Secondly, reproducibility of high performance steady state operation scenario from an existing tokamak to KSTAR is investigated using the experimental data from other tokamak device. Finally, capability of DEMO-relevant advanced tokamak operation is investigated in KSTAR. From those simulations, it is found that KSTAR is able to establish high performance steady state operation scenarios. The selection of the transport model and the current ramp up scenario is also discussed which have strong influence on target profiles.

Design calculations for fast plasma position control in Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research
We present the results of fast time scale plasma control simulations for the proposed Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) tokamak. Here, the fast plasma control includes stabilization of the vertical instability and rapid radial position control. As a simulation tool, we use the tokamak simulation code (TSC). We evaluate the power supply requirements for both the vertical an...
متن کاملDesign and Construction of the KSTAR Tokamak
The extensive design effort has been focused on two major aspects of the KSTAR project mission, steady-state operation capability and “advanced tokamak” physics. The steady-state aspect of mission is reflected in the choice of superconducting magnets, provision of actively cooled in-vessel components, and longpulse current-drive and heating systems. The “advanced tokamak” aspect of the mission ...

متن کاملLessons Learned from KSTAR Construction and Commissioning
KSTAR is an advanced tokamak with fully superconducting coils for the steady state research, which began in December 1995 and was completed in July 2008. As a single science project, it has been marked as the largest construction project in the history of Korea. During the construction period, we encountered several challenges, such as technical issues, cost overrun and schedule slippage. Never...
