For Scientists

Magnet, Power Supplies and Cryogenics

Scope

  • The TG shares knowledge and experiences in the design and operation of systems required for superconducting magnet operations in fusion devices, including commissioning of power supplies, cryogenic systems, and magnets​
  • The TG shares discussions about the results of the ITER magnet cold test and provides suggestions to ITER IO, on the operation of systems, maintenance requirements, risk mitigation measures (experience on faults, fault prevention, incidents, and possible damage, recovery), as well as on plant/system simulators development and benchmarking​
  • The TG proceeds with joint work on the construction of a database for magnet systems, and will publish review papers to overview the commissioning of superconducting magnet systems, provide recommendations for future machines, including demos and compact fusion reactors​

Tasks

To prepare for the commissioning and operation of the ITER magnet with power supplies and cryogenic systems, the MAG/PS/CRYO TG will specifically focus on the following topics, but not exclusively. The target is to identify potential mistakes to avoid and prevent delays during integrated commissioning.​

  • Commissioning of individual systems before integrated commissioning of the whole MAG/PS/CRYO systems​

  • Ensure the readiness of each system before integrated commissioning​

  • Study the synergistic effect of all the MAG/PS/CRYO systems​

  • Integrated commissioning of MAG/PS/CRYO systems​

  • Cooldown/warmup processes​

  • First energization​

  • Testing of the quench protection system​

  • Surveying the insulation​

  • Earthing strategy​
