A proof-of-concept for automated AI-driven stellarator coil optimization with in-the-loop finite-element calculations
Alan A. Kaptanoglu, Pedro F. Gil
Finding feasible coils for stellarator fusion devices is a critical challenge of realizing this concept for future power plants. Years of research work can be put into the design o…
Designing A Buildable Optimized Stellarator to Confine Electron-Positron Plasmas
Pedro F. Gil, Jason Smoniewski, Paul Huslage +7
In this paper, the design of the the plasma equilibrium and superconducting coils for the Electrons and Positrons in an Optimized Stellarator EPOS experiment is presented. With new…
Stochastic single-stage stellarator optimization using fixed-boundary equilibria
Pedro F. Gil, Jason Smoniewski, Rogerio Jorge +2
In this paper, single-stage stellarator optimization is combined with stochastic coil optimization to improve the robustness of the stellarator as compared to deterministic methods…
Manufacturing Tolerances of Non-Planar Coils for an Optimized Tabletop Stellarator
Pedro F. Gil, Vitali Brack, Tristan Schuler +2
Stellarator coils are known for their complexity and departure from planarity, along with tight manufacturing tolerances in order to achieve the target magnetic field accuracy. The…
A Non-planar ReBCO Test Coil with 3D-printed Aluminum Support Structure for the EPOS Stellarator
Paul Huslage, Tristan Schuler, Pedro F. Gil +7
We report on the test of a small scale, non-planar coil using non-insulated ReBCO tape wound on a 3D-printed aluminum support structure. A 3D-scan of the winding frame which was pr…
