  2. Measurement requirements HF coils • Main system: • Low (m,n) MHD modes, sawteeth, disruption precursors • High frequency macro instabilities • Backups: • Plasma current • Plasma position and shape Anna Encheva Slide 3

  3. Location within the vessel HF coils Located in the gap between blanket module and wall • their proximity to the plasma is the same as the equilibrium coils • measures the flux change through the area of its windings without subsequent integration • the measured quantities is thus the time rate of change of the magnetic field in a locally rather restricted area • distributed along poloidal contours • in 6 sectors • displaced by 60° toroidally • In order to cover up to m ~ 10, 20 high frequency coils were primary foreseen. • Only 18 high frequency coils are placed in each sector, due to the restriction to one/blanket module in the main chamber. * The scaled drawing could be found on: http://ftp.itereu.de/cad/html/ Anna Encheva Slide 4

  4. Present design features HF coils • for high bandwidth a wide gap is constructed • coil supports are insulated to reduce eddy currents • for getting a high induced voltage signal – effective area of the coil has to be large • for avoid short-circuiting between the two layers of windings - ceramic is grooved with one layer of deep and one layer of shallow grooves which cross each other • for reducing the internal coil capacitance – larger winding pitch • for minimizing stray fields and avoiding noise in the signal - even number of layers and windings is necessary Anna Encheva Slide 5

  5. Present design features HF coils • usable at up to 2 MHz measure both: equilibrium field and fluctuation related to plasma instabilities • proposed implementation (minimum physics): • one poloidal array of ~20 coils (with non-uniform distribution) covering both low- and the high-field side on 3 machine sectors for redundancy, each coil with effective area (NA)EFF=0.1m2 • two toroidal arrays of 20 coils (with non-uniform distribution) located at Z=ZMAG30cm, each coil with effective area (NA)EFF=0.1m2 • heat shield – protection from the plasma, prevent from interfering with other circuits Shield - connected to the vessel ground the coils has to be fully isolated from the casing • bobbin - made of stainless steel layer and copper strips Anna Encheva Slide 6

  6. Open design issues HF coils • Choice of conductor Molybdenum or Tungsten or other material, having: • Good winding properties • Withstanding high temperatures • Coil effective area Now in total 0.075 sq.m. or larger? • Good frequency response within a wide operational range 10 kHz ÷ 1MHz • Withstanding electromagnetic loads by full disruption mode 200 T/s M.Roccella, ITER_D_22JQLY, May 2003 • Withstanding high temperatures Max. 600°C Anna Encheva Slide 7

  7. Work plan 2006 HF coils • Transient electromagnetic analysis: • full disruption mode : 200T/s • induced voltage • Dynamic harmonic electromagnetic analysis: • induced eddy currents • amplitude - frequency response characteristics • Thermal analysis: • nuclear heating rate in the coil materials • temperature distribution in the coil structure • Coupled field analysis: • Structural analysis: • thermal loads • stress-strain distribution Anna Encheva Slide 8

  8. MHD saddles Measurement requirements • Main system: • Locked modes • Low (m,n) MHD modes, sawteeth, disruption precursors • Backups: • Plasma position and shape If necessary: MHD saddles as backup measurements for the equilibrium reconstruction Anna Encheva Slide 9

  9. MHD saddles Location within the vessel proposed implementation (general): • toroidal distribution: 4 sets of ~15 saddle loops with non-uniform distribution at Z=ZMAG80cm • 2 sets on low-field side + 2 sets on high-field side • toroidal positioning optimised for control of natural error field (TF ripple with/out ferrite inserts) • poloidal distribution: 1 set of ~20 saddle loops in >3 sectors • non-trivial role of *-correction (loops shrink: , lj) • redundancy is sufficient as saddle loops are permanent • where is ZMAG? need to optimise positioning of saddle loops as different magnetic equilibria are expected • effective area of each saddle loop (NA)EFF ~1.5m2 • lower than previous DDD estimate (~5m2) • Mounted on the inner wall of vacuum vessel • Exist on 9 machine sector pairs (40° apart toroidally) • Poloidally – 8 loops mounted on each sector • Saddle loops are permanent Anna Encheva Slide 10

  10. MHD saddles Present design features • Loops of 2mm mineral insulated cable • attached to the vessel at frequent intervals via resistance-welded clips • Choice of MI cable Research activity, CIEMAT and SCK-CEN • Open design issues: • design changes are required to satisfy full-scope physics requirements (∆ZMAG, *-correction) Anna Encheva Slide 11

  11. Divertor coils Measurement requirements • measurement of separatrix-wall gaps and reconstruction of equilibria (plasma shape and position) • improve the reconstruction accuracy near the X-point • this set of coils is essential to the reconstruction of divertor configuration • Plasma Position and Shape: • Main plasma gaps with time resolution 10 ms and accuracy 1-2 cm • Divertor channel location (10 ms, 1-2 cm) • dZ/dt of current centroid for range of 5 m/s, time resolution 1 ms and accuracy 0.05 m/s (noise) + 2% (error) • Measured quantity: • Magnetic field (normal and perpendicular to diverter cassette elements) at coils locations.
