Abstract
The TCV (Tokamak à Configuration Variable) is used as a forward engineering example of machine design, construction and plasma physics experiments. System robustness was achieved by highly flexible and modular construction, separate power supplies for each shaping coil and upgradeable control systems. The design was based on integrated MHD equilibrium and stability calculations together with overall systems modelling of plasma evolution, shaping coil current, voltage and power supplies. A key design element was a thick conducting vacuum vessel that stabilized high- and medium- frequency plasma instabilities. The design exploited the use of high vertical elongation and shaping capabilities to achieve MA plasma current at low toroidal field and low cost along with extreme shaping flexibility and divertor operation.
