Abstract

Investigations on operation of the power supply for the auxiliary system of the fusion power plant were made using the NEPLAN code. The new approach was to use an additional 80 MW, 1.2 GJ energy storage unit with the optimized magnetic confinement system (superconducting magnet system, multiconverter unit and STATCOM) as a SMES or modular flywheel storage unit (magnetodynamic storage MDS) to reduce network loadings in the power plant start-up phase during plasma heating.
