摘要

本文提出了一种利用远刮擦层(SOL)保护限制器处理中试装置主壁上稳态热流的新方法。这种方法有助于避免较大的等离子体壁间隙,而不会过度影响薄膜的性能。我们提出了一种优化算法,在给定(1)SOL等离子体参数的概率分布和(2)假设风险承受能力的情况下,确定这些保护限制器的适当尺寸和规模。作为优化的一部分,我们开发了一个通过限制器阴影平行热通量的分析描述,以及一个客观成本函数(“远- sol边际成本”),以量化不同主壁热管理设计选择对反应堆资本成本的影响。将该模型应用于中等规模核聚变试点工厂的概念表明,相对于天真地增加等离子体壁间隙,使用远溶胶保护限制器可以减少大约5亿美元的资本成本。我们的分析表明,远溶胶功率衰减长度是第一壁热负荷的最高等离子体假设,也是主壁热管理的主要成本驱动因素。保护限制器的相对成本效率随着对远太阳热通量的假设变得更加悲观而增加。本文中描述的概念激发了远溶胶保护限制器的进一步发展,作为为聚变中试工厂设计经济的核心-边缘壁兼容解决方案的更大努力的一部分。

A scoping study of far-SOL main-wall protection limiters for steady-state operation of compact pilot plant tokamaks
We present a novel method for handling steady-state heat fluxes incident on the main wall of pilot plant-scale magnetic fusion devices, based on the utilization of protection limiters in the far scrape-off layer (SOL). This method helps avoid large plasma-wall gaps, without excessively compromising blanket performance. We present an optimization algorithm for determining the appropriate size and scale of these protection limiters given (1) probability distributions of SOL plasma parameters and (2) assumed risk tolerance. As part of this optimization, we have developed an analytic description of parallel heat fluxes across limiter shadows, and an objective cost function (the ‘Far-SOL Marginal Cost’) to quantify the impact that different main-wall thermal management design choices have on reactor capital cost. Applying the model to a midscale fusion pilot plant concept shows that making use of far-SOL protection limiters can reduce capital costs on the order of $500 M, relative to naively increasing the plasma-wall gap. Our analysis demonstrates that the far-SOL power decay length is the highest-leverage plasma assumption for thermal loading of the first wall, and the primary cost driver for main wall thermal management. The relative cost efficiency of protection limiters increases as assumptions on the far-SOL heat flux become more pessimistic. The concepts described in this paper motivate the further development of far-SOL protection limiters as part of larger efforts to design economical core-edge-wall compatible solutions for a fusion pilot plant.
