ITER Fusion Device and Its Power Supply System

Abstract

[Introduction] In order to realize controlled nuclear fusion and solve the future energy problems of mankind, International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is planning to build a superconducting tokamak device for fusion reaction. [Method] This paper briefly described the significance and development of ITER program and introduced the composition and function of its power supply system, as well as the structure and technical parameters of converter power supply of main coils. [Result] Finally, the optimization design of ITER magnet power supply in China and related procurement task for magnet power supply that have been completed are proposed. [Conclusion] By participating in ITER research projects, China has made important contributions to the development of international fusion engineering technology.
