A Conceptual Design Study for the Error Field Correction Coil Power Supply in JT-60SA

摘要

This paper describes a conceptual design study for the circuit configuration of the Error Field Correction Coil (EFCC) power supply (PS) to maximize the expected performance with reasonable cost in JT-60SA.The EFCC consists of eighteen sector coils installed inside the vacuum vessel,six in the toroidal direction and three in the poloidal direction,each one rated for 30kA-turn.As a result,star point connection is proposed for each group of six EFCC coils installed cyclically in the toroidal direction for decoupling with poloidal field coils.In addition,a six phase inverter which is capable of controlling each phase current was chosen as PS topology to ensure higher flexibility of operation with reasonable cost.
