Optimization of the Power Conversion System
Fusion offers the possibility of clean and abundant energy, but faces many engineering challenges. For the conversion of thermal energy into electricity, two challenges are addressed here: operation of prototype fusion tokamaks may be pulsed due to operational uncertainty; thermal energy will available from multiple coolant streams at different powers and temperatures. These are challenging for the design and operation of the thermal power conversion system, where components like turbines are sensitive to thermal cycling
