Abstract :
A 215 MVA flywheel motor-generator is used for the toroidal field coil power supply system of the energy breakeven plasma testing facility, JT-60, which started operations in April, 1985 at JAPAN ATOMIC ENERGY RESEARCH INSTITUTE. This paper describes an outline of the flywheel motor-generator and discusses the determination of the Xd´´ value which affects the voltage regulation characteristic of the motor-generator and the twenty-four pulse rectifier circuit, the compensation effect of AVR for the voltage regulation characteristic, the temperature rise and stress of the flywheel which is the largest one in the world and the torsional vibration caused by a thyristor starter, together with the results of field tests.
