Estimation of magnetic error field with alleviating fabrication tolerance of large superconducting magnets on JA DEMO reactor.

• Evaluation of error field based on the accuracy of manufacturing of superconducting coils on JA DEMO were investigated. • The error field with all errors is 0.52 mT (ΔB TMEI /B T < 10-4). • The EFCC current was 200 kAT using two types of EFCC which are different toroidal angles outside the vacuum vessel. • The tolerance in coil fabrication would be mitigated by a factor of 2.5-5 compared with that of ITER on JA DEMO. Generally, DEMO requires larger toroidal field (TF) coils than ITER, resulting in one of the major difficulties, the tolerance in TF coil fabrication. This paper presents the possible solutions based on the design study on Japan's DEMO (JA DEMO). It was confirmed that, in the case of adopting a mitigated tolerance by a factor of 2.5–5 compared with that of ITER, the resulting error field of TF coils is correctable to an acceptable level in terms of locked mode avoidance. In addition, the design of the error field correction coil (EFCC) on JA DEMO was investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
