4 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 4 of 31 Background ●PPCS (Power Plant Conceptual Studies) completed in 2004, final report issued April 2005. ●5 different models considered: A (WCLL), B (HCPB) and AB (HCLL) based on limited physics extrapolations, C (Dual Coolant) based on more advanced physics and D (Self Cooled) based on very aggressive hypothesis. ●It is now necessary to develop a concept of DEMO: the device that will bridge the gap between ITER and the first-of-a-kind reactor.

5 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 5 of 31 PPCS ●Not all PPCS conclusions were anticipated. Some are positive (maintenance concept of “large module”), some are less positive (overall plant efficiency with helium outlet temperature of 500 ºC). ●A detailed review of the physics basis and of the engineering aspects of the PPCS have led to the following conclusions:  consider a physics basis for DEMO more aggressive than that of PPCS models A, B and AB;  assess feasibility of a He-cooled DEMO;  optimise energy conversion cycle with He at 500 ºC;  assess steady-state vs. pulsed devices.

6 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 6 of 31 DEMO ●DEMO Study proposal formally approved mid 2004, work started Jan. 2005. ●Work in 2005 has focused on the DEMO physics basis. ●A large interest in this field of activity has emerged within the physics community (extremely positive). ●A number of “generic” engineering and technological aspects are being investigated. ●The design work proper should start in 2006

18 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 18 of 31 Blanket and Maintenance ●The scope is to revisit alternative segmentations of the blanket and alternative maintenance schemes, in particular the vertical segments (“bananas”) and the MMS (“multi-module-segment”). ●A detailed presentation of the FZK proposal will be made by T. Ihli. ●We are considering various combinations of blanket concepts (HCLL, HCPB and DC) and of segmentations (large modules, bananas and MMS) ●We plan to make a selection before summer to lauch the DEMO design phase proper.

22 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 22 of 31 Conversion cycles

23 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 23 of 31 Scope ●Assess an energy conversion system using a supercritical CO 2 Brayton cycle and an energy conversion system using a supercritical Rankine cycle, considering the PPCS model AB as reference (HCLL blanket) ●This activity was launched considering the limited overall plant efficiency of the PPCS models B and AB due to the low helium outlet temperature (500 ºC) from the blanket Model AModel BModel AB Fusion power (MW)500036004290 Pumping power (MW)110375418 Gross electric power (MWe)206621572353 NET electric power (MWe)154613321458 Plant efficiency (net elec. power/fus. power) 31 (33) %36 %34 %

24 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 24 of 31 CO 2 Brayton cycle ●Interesting physical properties of the working fluid (critical temperature near room temperature, moderate value of critical pressure, stability under 1400 °C). ●Small turbines needed. ●The low inlet temperature of helium imposes a relatively low turbine inlet temperature, which limits the efficiency. ●Possible improvement : “split” the cycle, i.e. separate heat coming from the blanket - 500 °C - from that coming from the divertor - 700 °C.

25 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 25 of 31 Supercritical Rankine cycle ●This cycle was considered as reference in PPCS model AB. ●Improvement of the heat exchange ▪blanket helium heat exchange divided into 2 stages ▪parallel exchangers and more efficient HX curves ▪higher steam temperatures, increasing gross efficiencies ▪less steam mass flow, increasing net efficiencies allow to increase the overall efficiency by 3-4 percentage points.

28 EFDA EUROPEAN FUSION DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT C L O S E S U P P O R T U N I T G A R C H I N G page 28 of 31 Energy Storage System ● For an assessment of a pulsed reactor we will consider one of the following:  Thermal Energy Storage  Compressed Air Energy Storage  Pumped Hydro Storage  Fuel cells ●In addition, limited amounts of power might be provided by other technologies
