Towards a fusion power plant: integration of physics and technology [PDF]

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2022
Abstract A fusion power plant can only exist with physics and technology acting in synchrony, over space (angstroms to tens of metres) and time (femtoseconds to decades). Recent experience with the European DEMO programme has shown how important it is to start integration early, yet go deep enough to uncover the integration impact ...

Characterizing fusion market entry via an agent-based power plant fleet model

Energy Strategy Reviews, 2019
An agent based model characterizing the U.S. power plant fleet was formulated to compare scenarios for fusion energy technology diffusion. The model employs historical data to form distributions for power plant retirements, and simulates construction of ...

Analysis of supercritical carbon dioxide Brayton cycles for a helium-cooled pebble bed blanket DEMO-like fusion power plant

Fusion Engineering and Design, 2021
Nuclear fusion is expected to be a clean and almost-unlimited power source in the near future. The first net power demonstration plant (DEMO) is planned to start operation in 2050.
