Abstract

The paper aims to provide an overview of the final design of the outer poloidal field coils system for COMPASS Upgrade. Due to a relatively unique combination of design features of the new device (placement in high toroidal magnetic field, copper coils sub-cooled to liquid nitrogen temperature, hot vacuum vessel operation), the poloidal field coils design faced several interesting engineering challenges. Most notably high electromagnetic stress in the coil conductor, compatibility of the insulation to thermal and mechanical stress and design of coil supports with given spatial constraints while able to accommodate coil movements and withstand considerable mechanical stress. The paper describes solution to these challenges together with underlying analyses and mechanical tests.

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.
