Magnet optimization for pulsed energy conversion
Abstract
PULSAR, a flux compression generator, is being developed to meet power requirements for future fusion reactors. This paper presents results of a study performed to design a suitable superconducting magnet for PULSAR. The systems analysis, parameter study, magnet design, and cost estimates are reviewed. It is shown that designs of three different sizes have been developed, allowing flexibility in the armature-generator configuration. The basic differences in the designs are of geometry and field.
