Therefore, the no-insulation (NI) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) coil, known for its self-protection and high current-carrying capability, is inferred to be one of the competitive TF magnet technologies for future fusion power plants. Due to the ultra-compact geometry, the NI HTS TF coil used in Spherical Tokamaks differs from the constant tension <span>d</span>-shaped coil used in conventional Tokamaks, featuring a sharper <span>d</span>-shape and a smaller radius of curvature. Additionally, its current distribution characteristics, over-current performance, and multiple cooling cycle performance remain unclear. This study establishes an equivalent circuit model for the TF coil, demonstrating the current distribution inside the TF coil during charging, discharging, and over-current conditions. A laboratory-scale TF coil one meter in height, was manufactured to validate the model. Charging/discharging, over-current, and cooling cycle tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the NI TF coil.

The model effectively calculates the toroidal and radial current distributions in the NI HTS TF coil, providing valuable insights into the design to prevent quenching.

A new control system framework, Lingshu, has been designed and implemented to construct a comprehensive Plasma Control System (PCS). Lingshu employs a modular architecture based on a lightweight core infrastructure to achieve flexibility while maintaining real-time performance. The system is structured into three layers according to the tendency to be varied. The core layer constructs the framework fundamentals with built-in functionalities, including execution sequencing, data management, and communication mechanisms. The component suite layer determines the control system form by a set of collaborating components. The control algorithm layer provides the system with control capabilities. This three-tier architecture creates clear boundaries within the system. It avoids losing flexibility due to high integration or complexity booming due to excessive modularity. Lingshu employs an approach to modeling data elements to standardize the integration of algorithms. This approach allows automated tools to extract information from the model and utilizing, thereby streamlining the development and integration of new algorithms. This work explores innovative practices in designing and engineering the plasma control system framework and has achieved positive application results. The first release of Lingshu has been adapted for the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). It incorporates all requisite control functions for routine operations on EAST and has been validated in over 1,000 discharge shots conducted during 2023 and 2024.
