Thermal-hydraulic analysis of alternative cable-in-conduit conductors for the European DEMO hybrid central solenoid

Kamil Sedlák, Nikolay Bykovskiy, Roberto Guarino

A hybrid design of the Central Solenoid is under study within the conceptual design phase of the European DEMO fusion reactor. It is based on HTS conductors in the innermost high-field layers, and Nb3Sn and NbTi conductors for field values below 15 T. Sinc ...

Experimental Testing of the European TH1509U 170-GHz 1-MW CW Industrial Gyrotron-Long Pulse Operation

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Francisco Sanchez, Ioannis Pagonakis, Konstantinos Avramidis

The upgraded European 1-MW, 170-GHz continuous wave (CW) industrial prototype gyrotron (TH1509U) for electron cyclotron resonance heating and current drive in ITER was tested at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In this work, we report on the ma ...

High frequency IGCT operation for DC transformer

Gabriele Ulissi

In spite of the dominance of ac technology for the vast majority of power transmission and distribution since the late 19th century, the past decades have seen an increase in use of dc electrical power. In particular, this has been the case both in high vo ...

On the reconstruction of the attenuation function of a return-stroke current from the Fourier Transform of finite-duration measurements

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

A correct representation of the lightning current is crucial when the electromagnetic field radiated to a point of interest has to be computed. Based on the engineering models of Transmission Line type, such representation involves the knowledge of the ret ...

European 1 MW, 170 GHz CW Gyrotron Prototype for ITER - long-pulse operation at KIT -

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Francisco Sanchez, Ioannis Pagonakis, Konstantinos Avramidis

The upgraded EU 1 MW, 170 GHz continuous wave (CW) industrial prototype gyrotron (TH1509U) for Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating and Current Drive (ECRH&CD) in ITER was tested at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The gyrotron surpassed the pe ...

Data-driven Power Electronic Converter Control Design in Power System Applications

Seyed Sohail Madani

In recent years, power systems have evolved in physical and cyber-physical layers. In the physical layer, the changes are motivated by environmental concerns resulting in the integration of new types of generation/demand/storage into the grid. These integr ...

Technical and economic feasibility study of high-current HTS bus bars for fusion reactors

Kamil Sedlák, Rainer Wesche, Roberto Guarino

In this study, we present a technical and economic assessment of high-current HTS bus bars for primary use in fusion reactors. Our objective is to verify the technical feasibility of such conductors and, for this purpose, we carry out a conceptual design o ...

Prototype mitre bends of the ex-vessel waveguide system for the ITER upper launcher: Thermal hydraulic simulations and experiments with off-center mm-wave beams

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Matteo Vagnoni, Anastasia Xydou, Humberto Torreblanca Quiroz

On ITER, long pulse gyrotrons are required as a power source for electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (CD). The microwaves are guided from the gyrotrons, which are placed far from the Tokamak, into the plasma by transmission lines (TLs) and a ...

A Closed Time-Reversal Cavity for Electromagnetic Waves in Transmission Line Networks

Mario Paolone, Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein, Zhaoyang Wang, Reza Razzaghi

A closed time-reversal (TR) cavity has been considered a purely theoretical concept whose experimental realization was assumed to be impossible. In this article, we demonstrate that it is, in fact, possible to realize a closed TR cavity using a network of ...

Simulation of High-Frequency Transients in Overhead Lines Including Frequency-Dependent Soil Parameters: an FDTD Aproach

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Rafael Silva Alipio

This paper investigates the effect of frequency-dependent soil parameters on the simulation of electromagnetic transients on overhead lines, based on the application of the FDTD method to solve the telegrapher’s equations. The ground return impedance is ca ...
