1. 6. Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating in WEST

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Elvis Rodas; [2019]
   Keywords : tokamak; WEST; ICRH; FEMIC.;

   Abstract : In a fusion power plant the plasma must be confined to prevent instabilities and energy loss. The confinement machine studied is a tokamak. The focus of the project is to optimize ion resonance heating in WEST. READ MORE

3. 7. Fusion energy : Critical analysis of the status and future prospects

   University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för bygg- energi- och miljöteknik

   Author : Leizuri Zabala; [2018]
   Keywords : Fusion energy; fusion reactors; Tokamak reactors; fusion fuels; ITER;

   Abstract : The need to make maximum use of renewable resources to the detriment of fossil fuels to achieve environmental goals with an increasing energy demand is driving research into the development of technologies to obtain energy from sources that are not currently being exploited, one of them being fusion energy. The aim of this report is to provide a general overview of fusion and to provide a critical opinion on whether fusion will become a commercial energy source in the future, and if so when. READ MORE

4. 8. The Mapping and Visualization of Deuterium in Surfaces of Plasma Facing Components

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

   Author : Axel Trange; Jonas Widegren; [2018]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : In this paper we discuss how the spatial distribution of deuterium and especially its depth distribution can be determined and visualized for Plasma Facing Components (PFC). The main incentive of the project is to find attractive ways of presenting the distribution. Common ways of presentation are cross sectional 2D images. READ MORE

5. 9. Modeling fuel ion orbits during sawtooth instabilities in fusion plasmas

   University essay from

   Author : Ludvig Andersson; Karwan Rasouli; [2017]
   Keywords : Fusion Sawtooth instability tokamak plasma physics modeling orbit;

   Abstract : An important part of the fusion research program is to understand and control the large number of plasma instabilities that a fusion plasma can exhibit. One such instability is known as the “sawtooth” instability, which is a perturbation in the plasma electric and magnetic fields that manifests itself as periodic relaxations of the temperature and density in the plasma center.

6. 10. Evaluation of Distribution Function Models for ICRH-induced Impurity Transport in Tokamaks

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektro- och systemteknik (EES)

   Author : Håkon Sandven; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Fusion power is the utilization of the energy released in nuclear fusion reactions. It has the potential to become an energy source which is more sustainable, safer and cleaner than the primary energy sources today. The fundamental problem for fusion power is energy confinement.
