Extensive modeling and analytical work has been carried out considering the Helium-Cooled Pebble Bed Breeding Blanket (HCPB BB) Balance Of Plant (BOP) configuration of Demonstration Power (DEMO) using Apros system code, developed by VTT Technical Research Centre Finland Ltd. Fortum. The integral plant model HCPB BB improved with respect to blanket steam generator models. Based on HCPB-BL2017 v1 data, reported in 2019, remodeled separate process components, dedicated average inboard outboard segments, where power deposition scheme breeding units took into account output high-fidelity neutronic analyses. A new helical coil for primary–secondary coupling CAD data provided EUROfusion partner University Palermo. Transient analyses have performed that utilizes a molten salt technology-based small Energy Storage System (ESS).
