4 Why inductive (ohmic) current drive? Ohmic solenoid: work horse for fusion energy for decades. Based on simple physics principle very well-understood cf) Non-inductive CD schemes: still pretty much in the physics-proving stages. Simple hardware system Cheap power cost ($/kw) Iron core versus air core Provides a good target plasma for high power auxiliary plasma heating. May be challenging in engineering for low aspect ratio devices such as spherical tori.
5 Typical I p ramp-up configurations D-IIID NSTX I p control V loop control (~1 MA/s) t = -3 ms: gas injection t = -2 ms: ECH injection -7 < t < 3 ms: E-field turn-on, Field null control t = ms: plasma start t = 2 3 ms: position feedback control Limited inner wall I p ~ 2 ka w/ V loop = 3 V, κ > 1.3 R/a = 1.67/.67 m B T = 2 T
6 Important factors in plasma start-up E-field strength (loop voltage) Magnetic flux (volt-sec) consumption Magnetic structure (field null) Vacuum vessel and conducting structure material Pre-ionization Prefill gas pressure Wall condition (impurity)
7 V loop dependence I p I p V loop D α As V loop, I p ramp-up rate As V loop, breakdown is delayed. Breakdown time initial D α peaks. E >.25 V/m for breakdown ITER requirement: E ~.3 V/m Breakdown time τ bd e -CE

10 A double-swing solenoid flux of NSTX is.7 V-s. Spherical tori have small ohmic solenoid. Flux consumption optimization is more important than in conventional tokamaks.

13 Importance of pre-ionization ISX-B with ECH pre-ionization V res > Use of pre-ionization: Removal of the initial V loop peak Larger I p ramp rate Slightly larger average n e Reduction of V-s usage by 3% owing to a substantial reduction in V res.

16 Importance of pre-ionization cont d DIII-D ECH pre-ionization and pre-heating allow prompt and reliable start-up. Prompt breakdown (indicated in D α emission) (n e ) av > cm -3 during pre-ionization V loop = 3 V Higher ramp-up rate D α Larger density ECH (6 GHz, 6-85 kw) Earlier burnthrough
17 Importance of pre-ionization cont d DIII-D Higher ramp rate at the same V loop 4% ~65 kw Time (ms) V s = V res + V ind = I p R p + d(l i I p )/dt (Constant V loop control period) V res : V ind = 55% : 45% di p /dt >, V res ~ const I p & R p or n e & T e Reduction of V res by ECH di p /dt (inductive flux consumption increased)
18 RF power dependence As P ECH, V res and di p /dt DIII-D
19 RF power dependence cont d PETULA-B (France) In the presence of LHCD, significant reduction of loop voltage. Total flux consumption decreased due to resistive flux saving. I p waveform kept constant for comparison. w/o RF w/ RF

DIII-D ECH-assisted ohmic start-up (V loop = 3 V) Prefill pressure: (2.2-9) 1-5 torr As p, breakdown and current rise significantly delayed. No breakdown at p > torr Always prompt breakdown Wide prefill pressure operating range

29 Motivation Ohmic solenoid has been the work horse of fusion research. Attractive fusion CTF and power plant design requires OH elimination Compact CTF requires elimination of OH regardless of R/a. ARIES-AT and ARIES-ST design assumes no OH. PF coils have been used to start-up the plasma.

Vertical field and field index in the initial start-up phase seems to be right. Equilibrium calculation is on-going (DINA or TSC). Full ramp-up scenario will require bi-polar PF5. But initial breakdown experiment to ~1 ka should be possible with the existing power supplies.

50 Summary An analysis for developing an out-board PF-only inductive start-up scheme was performed. A combination of out-board PF coils placed outside the vacuum vessel is shown to create a good quality field null region while retaining significant volt-second capability for current ramp-up. For NSST, ~5 V-s possible for ramping the current to a few MAs. For NSTX, ~.12 V-s possible for I p ~ a few hundred ka. The concept provides sufficient flexibility to accommodate the needs for a particular device. NSTX can be utilized as a test-bed for elaborating the concept. - A quality multi-pole field null can be produced at R 1.4 m with the current machine capabilities. - Dynamic calculation including structure eddy currents shows sustainment of field null for over 5 ms. - Experiment under plan in 24.
