Three-dimensional calculations of the inductive coupling between radio-frequency waves and plasma in the drivers of the SPIDER device
Daniel López-Bruna, Mauro Recchia, Palak Jain +3
This work documents the initial 3D calculations to simulate the coupling between radio-frequency (RF) waves and plasma in discharges of the SPIDER device. Axisymmetric 3D calculati…
2D electromagnetic simulations of RF heating via inductive coupling in the SPIDER device
D. López-Bruna, P. Jain, M. Recchia +6
SPIDER is the prototype ion source of MITICA, the full-size neutral beam heating system conceived for the ITER tokamak. It includes eight drivers to heat and sustain the inductivel…
Integration studies of RF solid-state generators in the electrical system of NBTF experiments and ITER HNB
R. Casagrande, A. Maistrello, M. Recchia +5
SPIDER operation, started in 2018, pointed out performance-limiting issues caused by the technology employed in RF generators, based on tetrode free-running oscillators. One of the…
Overview on electrical issues faced during the SPIDER experimental campaigns
Alberto Maistrello, Matteo Agostini, Marco Bigi +39
SPIDER is the full-scale prototype of the ion source of the ITER Heating Neutral Beam Injector, where negative ions of Hydrogen or Deuterium are produced by a RF generated plasma a…
Lessons learned after three years of SPIDER operation and the first MITICA integrated tests
D. Marcuzzi, V. Toigo, M. Boldrin +139
ITER envisages the use of two heating neutral beam injectors plus an optional one as part of the auxiliary heating and current drive system. The 16.5 MW expected neutral beam power…
