研究目的
To develop high-power gyrotrons for electron-cyclotron-resonance heating and current drive in fusion reactors, focusing on increasing output power, efficiency, and operating frequency, particularly above 200 GHz, for future demonstration power plants like DEMO.
研究成果
The research demonstrates progress in developing high-power gyrotrons, with the coaxial cavity technology showing promise for higher frequencies and power levels. Key findings include achieving up to 2.2 MW output power at 170 GHz and initiating designs for multi-frequency operation above 200 GHz. The work supports future fusion power plants by addressing efficiency and frequency challenges, with recommendations for further validation of components and implementation of multi-staged depressed collectors.
研究不足
Technical constraints include limitations on cavity wall loading (< 2 kW/cm2), challenges in achieving long-pulse or continuous wave operation, and the need for improved electron beam quality. Potential optimizations involve developing multi-staged depressed collectors for higher efficiency and refining quasi-optical systems for better performance at higher frequencies.
