This produced excessive structures that would have been difficult to install and were much more costly than needed to meet the scenarios required for the upgrade mission. Instead, the project decided to rely on a digital coil protection system (DCPS). Initial sizing was then based on the 96 scenarios in the project design point with some headroom to accommodate operational flexibility and uncertainty. This has allowed coil support concepts that minimize alterations to the existing hardware. The digital coil protection system theory, hardware and software are described in another paper at this conference. The intention of this paper is to describe the generation of stress multipliers, and algorithms that are used to characterize the stresses at key areas in the tokamak, as a function of either loads calculated by the influence coefficients computed in the DCPS software, or directly from the coil currents.","PeriodicalId":393592,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/NPSS 24th Symposium on Fusion Engineering","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125266389","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multi-Secondary transformers are invariably used for generation of tens of kV range outputs with fast (µS order) transient response. In this scheme, large numbers of isolated voltage sources are connected in series to generate the output. Isolated voltage sources can be achieved by large number of separate transformers or by single unit of multi-secondary transformer. Naturally, a transformer having numbers of secondary windings (∼40) on single core is the preferred solution due to its space and cost consideration. For design and simulation analysis of such a power supply, the model of a multi-secondary transformer poses special problem to any circuit analysis software. While many simulation softwares provide transformer models with limited number (3–6) of secondary windings, they still fail to predict the actual observed results from a manufactured unit. This paper discusses the difficulties in modelling, step by step with representative schemes of multi-secondary transformer, advantages/disadvantages of each scheme with simulation results. Finally, a model using flux coupled cores as basic building block is proposed, this model is able to simulate actual transformers very close to its observed parameters in test and actual usage.","PeriodicalId":393592,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE/NPSS 24th Symposium on Fusion Engineering","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126055068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
