Abstract
Effective project management methods, tools and working practices shall be applied to facilitate the communication and collaboration among the different institutions involved in the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) project. This paper deals with the definition of the configuration management platform architecture enabling technical integration of the DTT system. The first step consists in the identification of main requirements the platform should satisfy, considering the multidisciplinary domains and the geographically dispersed working teams characterizing the nuclear fusion sector and the maturity level of the specific project. Main characteristics of the most advanced Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools are identified, their limits and benefits are evaluated, and the suitable PLM platform is selected, satisfying the DTT project needs. The definition of the architecture of the configuration management platform for the DTT project aims at implementing the DTT assembly model in a unique environment able to exchange models and data even developed outside the platform ensuring the congruence of the design, the traceability of design changes and the adoption of a proper Systems Engineering approach.
期刊介绍:
The journal accepts papers about experiments (both plasma and technology), theory, models, methods, and designs in areas relating to technology, engineering, and applied science aspects of magnetic and inertial fusion energy. Specific areas of interest include: MFE and IFE design studies for experiments and reactors; fusion nuclear technologies and materials, including blankets and shields; analysis of reactor plasmas; plasma heating, fuelling, and vacuum systems; drivers, targets, and special technologies for IFE, controls and diagnostics; fuel cycle analysis and tritium reprocessing and handling; operations and remote maintenance of reactors; safety, decommissioning, and waste management; economic and environmental analysis of components and systems.
