Tokamak Energy revealed a design for fusion energy pilot plant during a meeting of American Physical Society's Division of Plasma Physics.
The world is racing to develop functional fusion power stations that will provide safe and secure clean energy to towns and cities, and heat for industry.The fusion pilot design submitted at the meeting of American Physical Society overviews Tokamak Energy’s contribution to the US Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program.
The world is racing to develop functional fusion power stations that will provide safe and secure clean energy to towns and cities, andfor industry. One kilogram of fusion fuel releases the same amount of energy as burning around 10 million kilograms of coal, with no harmful emissions. It’s being claimed that the high-field spherical tokamak will include a complete set of new generation high temperature superconducting magnets to confine and control the deuterium and tritium hydrogen fuel in a plasma many times hotter than the center of the sun, according to the company.The design submitted at the meeting overviews Tokamak Energy’s contribution to the US Milestone-Based Fusion Development Program.
TE employs an iterative workflow that facilitates rapid experimentation with machine design points. This process begins with PyTOK, an in-house whole plant systems code, which finds optimal design points across a range of parameters whilst enforcing engineering self-consistency. A favorable design is taken into a rapid engineering and physics workflow, where the team assesses it more in-depth for up to two weeks, according to the design revealed at the meeting.
