2 NBI-1 has been major heating source for KSTAR operation 1 beam box with three ion sources 100 kev, D+ based arc discharge/ion sources placed in horizontal mid-plane On-axis CD profile No. 2 (2012) No. 1 (2010) No. 3 (2014) Long pulse capable positive ion based ion source & multi-aperture plasma grid with CuCrZr SECOND Beam Line 2

3 KSTAR for high Beta & steady-state operation Main mission of KSTAR is to achieve Advanced Tokamak (AT) operation mode in long pulse capable superconducting tokamak device High β & Steady-state operation (fully non-inductive CD) Basically target to high betan, steady-state Increased power and off-axis current drive Approach to high betat & low q95 For broad q profile with larger I P operation Approach to high betap & q95 Stable operation with high B T operation (2016) 3

4 Off-axis CD for advanced tokamak mode One approach to AT mode is utilizing bootstrap current. Additional off-axis CD provides more flexible, localized control of current profile. Current profile is controlled by the angle between NBI and magnetic field pitch angle. M. Murakami et al., NF 49, (2009). 4

5 New tangential NBI having off-axis CD capability tangential radius Advantages maximizing driving current maximizing/optimizing off-axis CD capability compromise with installation constraints minimizing additional R&D requirements Specification of NBI2 vertical slant angle Beam energy <100 kev Beam power <6 MW Duration <300 sec Tangential radius 1.6m Vertical slant angle 0, +/

6 Vertical slant angle determines off-axis capability vertical slant angle scan for up-looking beam At lower angle, optimum R t moves to higher radius At higher angle, off-axis characteristics are enhanced, however efficiency decreases Angle 7.5 degrees seems to be better for CD, however absorption decreases At lower angle (5.5 deg), absorption increases Engineering limit ~ 5.5 deg.

13 Summary Main mission of KSTAR is steady state high beta AT mode operation. Off-axis CD provides AT operation and more controllability of current profile. The effect of slant angle on heating and CD is calculated, but 5.5 degree is determined by engineering limit. Heat loads on beam components satisfy the heat capability of hypervapotron. Ion dump temperature measurement system is under consideration. Ion energy recovery system and full energy beam fraction are being studied. 13
