This paper reports on the analysis of potential rail-based maintenance systems when implemented into a Helical Advanced Stellarator (HELIAS) 5-B device. The main purpose of such a system would be to handle and exchange the internal vessel components, namely the breeding blanket segments, which are expected to be the largest and heaviest componen…
We present modifications of the systems code Process that allow for a description of a general class of stellarator power plants, based on a stellarator coil-set and the respective MHD plasma equilibrium. For this, we modify Process such that each stellarator confi…
With a lack of plasma disruptions and current-driven instabilities, stellarators are potentially an attractive option for a fusion power plant. Previous system studies have been performed to optimise a HELIAS (HELIcal-axis Advanced Stellarator) 5-B power plant using PROCESS, however these have been based around a single design point. In reality …
