Fusion for Energy
2020-2022
Fusion for Energy is delivering 5 out of 6 ITER superconducting poloidal field coils (PF coils), which are composed stacks to 8 double-layered circular - double pancakes (DPs). The range from 17m 24m in diameter and the wound conductor has a NbTi core inside stainless steel squared jacked. Due size PF2-4 coils, they have been manufactured on site, very close assembly hall. This article highlights manufacturing processes, learning curve, main challenges learned lessons during winding...
The plasma confinement of the International Tokamak Experimental Rector (ITER) is provided by magnetic field generated 18 toroidal (TF) coils while 6 poloidal (PF) and central solenoid have function to drive, shape pre-heat plasma. Fusion for Energy (F4E), European Domestic Agency ITER, responsible supply 10 TF 5 PF ITER project. Organization (IO) team instead design such as well coordination activities different Agencies (DAs) producing components, their assembly into Tokamak. utilize NbTi...
Fusion for Energy (F4E), the European Domestic Agency International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), is responsible supply of 5 out 6 Poloidal Field (PF) Coils: PF2-PF6. One coil, PF1, being manufactured by Russian Federation (RFDA). While 10 m diameter PF6 was Institute Plasma Physics Chinese Academy Sciences (ASIPP) and tested in cold test facility at Cadarache under a collaboration agreement with F4E; coils PF2-PF5 are currently on site, close to Tokamak building, their size...
