Performance Comparison of Cables With Partial Transposition

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Federica Demattè, Chiara Frittitta

The need of full transposition of the current carrying elements (strands) in large cables is frequently retained as top design criterion for conductors operating in pulsed mode. However, when the transposition error, i.e., the inductance difference among t ...

Bending Tolerance of React&Wind Nb3Sn Conductors for Fusion Magnets

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Federica Demattè, Chiara Frittitta

The react-and-wind technique for manufacturing of large Nb3Sn fusion magnets (RW) is very attractive because of the superior performance of the Nb3Sn with lower thermal strain compared to the wind-and-react technique. The procedure for magnet winding is al ...

The DEMO magnet system - Status and future challenges

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Rainer Wesche, Kamil Sedlák, Davide Uglietti, Federica Demattè, Roberto Guarino, Mithlesh Kumar, Vincenzo D'Auria, Ortensia Dicuonzo, Chiara Frittitta

We present the pre-concept design of the European DEMO Magnet System, which has successfully passed the DEMO plant-level gate review in 2020. The main design input parameters originate from the so-called DEMO 2018 baseline, which was produced using the PRO ...

Experimental Assessment of the Thermal Strain Distribution in Nb3Sn React & Wind Conductor Prototype for European DEMO

Kamil Sedlák, Chiara Frittitta

In a typical Nb3Sn cable for fusion applications, the knowledge of the strain state of Nb3Sn filaments is important to predict and interpret the conductor performance in operation. Amongst the relevant strain sources, the predominant is the thermal strain ...

Advance in the conceptual design of the European DEMO magnet system

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Davide Uglietti, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov, Rainer Wesche, Roberto Guarino, Mithlesh Kumar, Vincenzo D'Auria, Ortensia Dicuonzo, Chiara Frittitta

The European DEMO, i.e. the demonstration fusion power plant designed in the framework of the Roadmap to Fusion Electricity by the EUROfusion Consortium, is approaching the end of the pre-conceptual design phase, to be accomplished with a Gate Review in 20 ...
