Since dependable conductor models can be based on 1-D thermal-hydraulic problems, coupled simulation scheme has established itself as a practical approach to evaluate the design of large-scale superconducting magnets. By integrating well-established numerical models around the core of superconducting magnet, i.e. the conductors, such a concept of coupled solution, known as co-simulation...
The Central Solenoid (CS) of the EU DEMO is under design within the EUROfusion Consortium. Two different design options are under investigation. One option is based on Low Temperature Superconducting (LTS) Cable-In-Conduit Conductors (CICCs), following an ITER-like design approach. The other option is to employ both High Temperature Superconducting (HTS) and LTS materials to build an hybrid...
Abstract
High Temperature Superconductors (HTS) are very promising materials to be applied in future fusion magnets. HTS conductors are already considered as a possible option for some components of the superconducting magnet system of the EU DEMO tokamak, which are being designed by the EUROfusion consortium, e.g. for the innermost subcoil of the Central Solenoid coils developed by the...
