Service Joining Strategy for the EU DEMO

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
As part of the European Research Roadmap to the Realisation of Fusion Energy, the DEMO reactor aims to show the feasibility of a fusion power plant. Due to the loss of revenue created by downtime and the potential for a breakdown to render a reactor inoperable, maintenance is “mission critical” for a power plant.

Parametric Studies of the EU DEMO Central Solenoid

IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity, 2023
The Central Solenoid (CS) is at the core of the EU DEMO tokamak, and has a strong impact on the tokamak design and the overall machine size. By ramping its current, the CS generates a change of magnetic flux, which initiates the plasma, and induces and controls the plasma current.

Safety important classification of EU DEMO components

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2019
Abstract The identification of structures, systems and components (SSCs) performing safety functions is of paramount importance for an EU DEMO development in all phases of the project: design, fabrication, commissioning, operation, maintenance, inspections and tests.

Overview of EU DEMO design and R&D activities

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2014
Abstract One important objective of the EU fusion roadmap Horizon 2020 is to lay the foundation of a Demonstration Fusion Power Reactor (DEMO) to follow ITER, with the capability of generating several 100 MW of net electricity to the grid and operating with a closed fuel-cycle by 2050.

The EU DEMO Plant Electrical System: Issues and perspective

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2020
In the EU DEMOnstration power plant, the Plant Electrical System (PES) is one of the largest systems; its scope covers the electrical power generation and the Power Supply (PS) systems necessary for supplying all the plant loads. The studies conducted so far have been addressed to understand, on the one hand the specific design challenges with respect ...

Pre-conceptual design of EU-DEMO divertor primary heat transfer systems

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2021
Abstract In the frame of the activities promoted and encouraged by the EUROfusion Power Plant Physics and Technology (PPPT) department aimed at developing the EU-DEMO fusion reactor, strong emphasis has been recently addressed to the whole Balance of Plant (BoP) which represents the set of systems devoted to convert the plasma generated thermal power

SOLPS‐ITER EU‐DEMO modelling with drifts and kinetic neutrals

Contributions to Plasma Physics, 2022
AbstractThe edge transport modelling of EU‐DEMO burning plasma is performed by SOLPS‐ITER transport code with kinetic neutrals and full drifts and currents switched on. The efficiency of Ar and Ne as a divertor radiant is compared for such a condition. It is found from simulations that both Ar and Ne are suitable to reduce the target heat loads below ,

High temperature superconductor cables for EU-DEMO TF-magnets

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2017
Abstract Actual progress of High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) RE BCO tapes show an enormous increase of critical current density especially at highest field. These results offer new possibilities for the application of RE BCO for large fusion magnets with a magnetic field well above 13 T at the conductor and a large temperature margin > 10 K ...

EU DEMO Plant and Building Layout Criteria

2019
An early attention to the layout of both plant site and its buildings is essential in a complex plant under preliminary design as DEMO in order to meet the assigned targets, namely i) the licensing requirements ii) a good availability in delivery electricity to the grid.
