Association Euratom-Cea TORE SUPRA A few very simple technical elements on the internal / external matching discussion of ITER IC Array S. BREMOND, G. BOSIA, B. BEAUMONT & TS ICRF Team CCFW 34, Garching, June 24th S. BRÉMOND 1/10 Association Euratom-Cea TORE SUPRA Main ITER issues for IC antenna system* - High power density (~ 10 MW / m2 required) RF voltage stand-off margins - Matching + load tolerance (ELMs) - Components reliability - Overall technical performance and margins * we need a grid to compare solutions CCFW 34, Garching, June 24th S.

BRÉMOND 3/10 Association Euratom-Cea F RF Voltage stand-off 2/3 VJ F RF Voltage: Vmax (ext.) (~ 36 kV) > Vmax (int.) (~ 28 kV) + maximum RF voltage point depending on frequency F VJ RF Current : up to 1.8 kA (ext.) > 1.1 kA (int.) High RF current (and voltage) at vacuum window CCFW 34, Garching, June 24th S. BRÉMOND TORE SUPRA VJ RF electric field: more freedom to adjust geometry in internal matching up to 1.4 (ext.) > 1.1 kV/mm (int.) 4/10 Association Euratom-Cea RF Voltage stand-off 3/3 TORE SUPRA Impedance jumps and non TEM modes (external matching) Non TEM modes at impedance jump (while evanescent, still increase local RF field) by about 40% (from a first estimate) CCFW 34, Garching, June 24th S. BRÉMOND 5/10 Association Euratom-Cea Matching 1/2 TORE SUPRA 1. External matching cannot apply conjuguate T principle; matching algorithm becomes an issue C1 End of strap + feeder End of strap + feeder T branche 1 T branche 2 G=0.5 G=0.5 RA RA l2 C2 T branche 2 T branche 1 Internal matching l1 External matching External matching: no more perfect cancellation of admittance imaginary part (which is the bigger) at junction when starting from matching at base loading (without Elms) - theoretical issue: optimisation to be performed to find best trade-off (no more perfect match at base loading) and thus complicated tuning procedure required - operational issue: no more possible to find matching experimentally at base loading CCFW 34, Garching, June 24th S. BRÉMOND 6/10 Association Euratom-Cea Matching 2/2 TORE SUPRA 2. Uncontrolled power sharing is very likely to reduce power handling capabilities 1st VTL 2nd VTL 1st VTL 2nd VTL 1st VTL 2nd VTL PT1 ,2 ,3 1 GT1 ,2 ,3 VT 2 2 - Any asymmetry between branches (plasma loading, poloïdal mutual coupling between straps, VTLs, 4-port passive junction, etc…) will lead to power unbalance with no means of correcting it - Effect of unavoidable asymmetry can not be minimise because depending on frequency (junction to be made at voltage anti-node) - Effect on tuning procedure to be documented (high sensitivity expected) CCFW 34, Garching, June 24th S. BRÉMOND 7/10 Association Euratom-Cea Components reliability TORE SUPRA External matching option 1. Unusual 4 ports passive junction to be developed an qualified Developing a compact broadband three way power divider compatible with ITER environment would certainly required much effort, design work, mock-up validation, let alone manufacturing difficulties for making the real thing. 2. Vacuum window (primary safety barrier) is in an unmatched section - it has to withstand higher RF current / voltage (typically 35 kV / 1.6 kA depending on frequency) than in the internal option (typically 8 kV / 0.4 kA) - The risk that an arc in the VTL drift to the window is enhanced 3. CW high power phase shifter are to be developed Internal matching option Enhancement of existing commercial units to be performed in order to make them compatible with tokamak and ITER environment CCFW 34, Garching, June 24th S. BRÉMOND 8/10 Association Euratom-Cea Miscellaneous TORE SUPRA - power efficiency (RF losses) From strap to T junction, typically twice as high in the external matching option (~170 kW instead of 85 kW) - overall simplicity many components in the unmatched sections and many optimisations required for the external matching option - absence of in-vessel remotely operated component in external matching option: no significant gain in time for access and repair with external adjustable components (2 weeks cooled down required) - overall technical margins Possible hazard in the course of ITER experience (e.g. lower loading than expected) would hit: - many components technical margins in the external matching option (due to the very large resonant area, e.g. vacuum window which is a critical safety component) - mainly lumped capacitors technical margins in the internal matching option (large existing technical margins on upstream components) CCFW 34, Garching, June 24th S. BRÉMOND 9/10 Association Euratom-Cea Tentative conclusion TORE SUPRA - Internal matching option with lumped capacitors is a well known scheme for which the issues are and will be even better documented (after JET-EP and TS ITER-like experience). Efforts have to be made on the enhancement of one particular component (capacitors) starting from existing commercial units to be adapted to ITER environment. - External matching proposed option seems to have lower technical margins (higher RF Voltage), raises new and tricky issues, requires many component development and qualification, without being grounded on existing experiences.
