Abstract

In this paper we illustrate a self-consistent procedure to design the superconducting Toroidal Field (TF) and Central Solenoid (CS) magnet systems starting from the basic plasma dimensioning parameters. By defining the plasma major radius and minor radii, as well as the inboard TF coil neutron shielding radial built, we proceed by sizing the TF Winding Pack (WP), its case and the CS modules. The ITER magnets design philosophy and criteria are adopted throughout the study. A key outcome of this work is to illustrate the inter-play between machine size, magnetic field and availability of inductive flux for burn. In doing so we investigate the advantages brought by high field tokamak design compared the more conventional (ITER-like) Nb3Sn based magnet design solutions.
