Abstract

The Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) device, a steady-state-capable advanced Tokamak, is to be built in Korea. The KSTAR device is made up of 16 toroidal field (TF) and 14 poloidal field (PF) superconducting coils. A simulation code for the transient operation of the KSTAR TF and PF coils is developed. For stable Tokamak operation, the operating characteristics of the KSTAR superconducting magnet system are studied for operation scenario. We calculated the temperature margin of superconducting cables, cryogenic flow parameters and the heat deposition in TF and PF coils. The effect of the 3D heat conduction and the eddy current loss in the supporting structure and vacuum chamber of KSTAR is also included.
