8. Analysis of current distribution and AC losses in a RW2 prototype cable for the European DEMO TF coils

22/09/2021, 14:40

Several design proposals have been envisaged for the Toroidal Field (TF) coils of the future European DEMO fusion reactor, which are based on a Nb3Sn conductor cable made with the react&wind (RW) or wind&react technologies.
Among them, Swiss Plasma Center (SPC) is proposing a RW solution combined with a layer winding technique for the coil, which is expected to permit the conductor grading as...

13. Analytical modeling of coupling losses in CICCs, extensive study of the COLISEUM model

22/09/2021, 15:05

Magnetic field and current variations are responsible for AC losses in superconductive magnets. These losses may induce an increase of temperature within the material and negatively affect the performance of the magnet. In case of fusion energy experiments, it is essential to model and predict AC losses to ensure safe and reliable tokamak utilisation.

Developed at CEA, the new fully...
