Measurement of HL-2A NBI Beam Profile and Beam Power

To optimize the operation parameters of the beam line of NBI on HL-2A, features of the beam line, including the beam profile and the power deposited on components and injected into the tokamak plasma, were measured. The operational parameters of the four sources on the beam line were optimized with the monitor of the beam profile and beam power, and the transmission efficiency of the NBI injected power was therefore increased. A beam diagnostic system for the beam line of the NBI system on HL-2A as well as the diagnosed results was also presented.

Proposal of a Deuterium-Deuterium Fusion Reactor Intended for a Large Power Plant

This article looks for the necessary conditions to use Deuterium-Deuterium (D-D) fusion for a large power plant. At the moment, for nearly all the projects (JET, ITER…) only the Deuterium-Tritium (D-T) fuel is considered for a power plant. However, as shown in this article, even if a D-D reactor would be necessarily much bigger than a D-T reactor due to the much weaker fusion reactivity of the D-D fusion compared to the D-T fusion, a D-D reactor size would remain under an acceptable size. Indeed, a D-D power plant would be necessarily large and powerful, i.e. the net electric power would be equal to a minimum of 1.2 GWe and preferably above 10 GWe. A D-D reactor would be less complex than a D-T reactor as it is not necessary to obtain Tritium from the reactor itself. It is proposed the same type of reactor yet proposed by the author in a previous article, i.e. a Stellarator “racetrack” magnetic loop. The working of this reactor is continuous. It is reminded that the Deuterium is relatively abundant on the sea water, and so it constitutes an almost inexhaustible source of energy. Thanks to secondary fusions (D-T and D-He3) which both occur at an appreciable level above 100 keV, plasma can stabilize around such high equilibrium energy (i.e. between 100 and 150 keV). The mechanical gain (Q) of such reactor increases with the internal pipe radius, up to 4.5 m. A radius of 4.5 m permits a mechanical gain (Q) of about 17 which thanks to a modern thermo-dynamical conversion would lead to convert about 21% of the thermal power issued from the D-D reactor in a net electric power of 20 GWe. The goal of the article is to create a physical model of the D-D reactor so as to estimate this one without the need of a simulator and finally to estimate the dimensions, power and yield of such D-D reactor for different net electrical powers. The difficulties of the modeling of such reactor are listed in this article and would certainly be applicable to a future D-He3 reactor, if any.

Dynamic analysis of a rotating tapered cantilever Timoshenko beam based on the power series method

The mathematical modeling of a rotating tapered Timoshenko beam with preset and pre-twist angles is constructed. The partial differential equations governing the six degrees, i.e., three displacements in the axial, flapwise, and edgewise directions and three cross-sectional angles of torsion, flapwise bending, and edgewise bending, are obtained by the Euler angle descriptions. The power series method is then used to inves- tigate the natural frequencies and the corresponding complex mode functions. It is found that all the natural frequencies are increased by the centrifugal stiffening except the twist frequency, which is slightly decreased. The tapering ratio increases the first transverse, torsional, and axial frequencies, while decreases the second transverse frequency. Because of the pre-twist, all the directions are gyroscopically coupled with the phase differences among the six degrees.

Empirical Scaling Laws of Neutral Beam Injection Power in HL-2A Tokamak

We present an experimental method to obtain neutral beam injection （NBI） power scaling laws with operating parameters of the NBI system on HL-2A, including the beam divergence angle, the beam power transmission efficiency, the neutralization efficiency and so on. With the empirical scaling laws, the estimating power can be obtained in every shot of experiment on time, therefore the important parameters such as the energy confinement time can be obtained precisely. The simulation results by the tokamak simulation code （TSC） show that the evolution of the plasma parameters is in good agreement with the experimental results by using the NBI power from the empirical scaling law.

Preliminary Research Results for the Generation and Diagnostics of High Power Ion Beams on FLASH II Accelerator

The preliminary experimental results of the generation and diagnostics of high power ion beams on FLASH II accelerator are reported. The high-power ion beams presently are being produced in a pinched diode. The method for enhancing the ratio of ion to electron current is to increase the electron residing time by pinching the electron flow. Furthermore, electron beam pinching can be combined with electron reflexing to achieve ion beams with even higher efficiency and intensity. The anode plasma is generated by anode foil bombarded with electron and anode foil surface flashover. In recent experiments on FLASH II accelerator, ion beams have been produced with a current of 160 kA and an.energy of 500 keV corresponding to an ion beam peak power of about 80 GW. The ion number and current of high power ion beams were determined by monitoring delayed radioactivity from nuclear reactions induced in a 12C target by the proton beams. The prompt 7-rays and diode bremsstrahlung X-rays were measured with a PIN semi-conductor detector and a plastic scintillator detector. The current density distribution of ion beam were measured with a biased ion collector array. The ion beams were also recorded with a CR-39 detector.

Analysis of Power Distribution on Beamline Components at Different Neutralization Efficiencies on NBI Test Stand

Neutral beam injection is recognized as one of the most effective means for plasma heating. According to the research plan of the EAST physics experiment, two sets of neutral beam injector（4–8 MW, 10–100 s） were built and operated in 2014. Neutralization efficiency is one of the important parameters for neutral beam. High neutralization efficiency can not only improve injection power at the same beam energy, but also decrease the power deposited on the heat-load components in the neutral beam injector（NBI）. This research explores the power deposition distribution at different neutralization efficiencies on the beamline components of the NBI device. This work has great significance for guiding the operation of EAST-NBI, especially in long pulse and high power operation, which can reduce the risk of thermal damage of the beamline components and extend the working life of the NBI device.

MECHANICAL VIBRATIONAL POWER FLOW IN BEAM-PLATE ASSEMBLIES

The vibrational power flow in the beam-plate assemblies and then with the isolators is investigated using analytical ' power flow' approach based on the some concepts of mechanical mo- bility and structural dynamics. Theoretical expressions of the power flow in the structures are given and examined. The numerical results of the expressions are good agreements with the measuring re- sults obtained by the technique of vibration intensity. On the basis of these results, possible ways of reducing the vibrational power flow in the structures are suggested .

Long-pulse power-supply system for EAST neutral-beam injectors

The long-pulse power-supply system equipped for the 4 MW beam-power ion source is comprised of three units at ASIPP（Institute of Plasma Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences）： one for the neutralbeam test stand and two for the EAST neutral-beam injectors（NBI-1 and NBI-2, respectively）. Each power supply system consists of two low voltage and high current DC power supplies for plasma generation of the ion source, and two high voltage and high current DC power supplies for the accelerator grid system. The operation range of the NB power supply is about 80 percent of the design value, which is the safe and stable operation range. At the neutral-beam test stand, a hydrogen ion beam with a beam pulse of 150 s, beam power of 1.5 MW and beam energy of 50 ke V was achieved during the long-pulse testing experiments. The result shows that the power-supply system meets the requirements of the EAST-NBIs fully and lays a basis for achieving plasma heating.

Discharge Characteristics of Large-Area High-Power RF Ion Source for Positive and Negative Neutral Beam Injectors

A large-area high-power radio-frequency（RF） driven ion source was developed for positive and negative neutral beam injectors at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute（KAERI）. The RF ion source consists of a driver region, including a helical antenna and a discharge chamber, and an expansion region. RF power can be transferred at up to 10 kW with a fixed frequency of 2 MHz through an optimized RF matching system. An actively water-cooled Faraday shield is located inside the driver region of the ion source for the stable and steady-state operations of high-power RF discharge. Plasma ignition of the ion source is initiated by the injection of argongas without a starter-filament heating, and the argon-gas is then slowly exchanged by the injection of hydrogen-gas to produce pure hydrogen plasmas. The uniformities of the plasma parameter,such as a plasma density and an electron temperature, are measured at the lowest area of the driver region using two RF-compensated electrostatic probes along the direction of the shortand long-dimensions of the driver region. The plasma parameters will be compared with those obtained at the lowest area of the expansion bucket to analyze the plasma expansion properties from the driver region to the expansion region.

It provides a theoretical basis for experimental research in the future.

Simulation on control of beam halo-chaos by power function in the hackle periodic-focusing channel

The K-V beam through a hackle periodic-focusing magnetic field is studied using the particle-core model. The beam halo-chaos is found, and a power function controller is proposed based on mechanism of halo formation and strategy of controlling halo-chaos. Multiparticle simulation was performed to control the halo by using the power function control method. The results show that the halo-chaos and its regeneration can be eliminated effectively. We also find that the radial particle density evolvement is of uniformity at the beam’s centre as long as appropriate parameters are chosen.

Downlink call admission control with power allocation and rate scheduling for IDMA-based multi-beam satellite systems

Considering the advantage of interleave-division multiple-access(IDMA) technique and the technical bottlenecks in the existing satellite systems,IDMA is introduced into satellite communication networks.To further validate the IDMA into satellite systems,an effective call admission control(CAC) is proposed to maximize the resource utilization.After establishing the multi-beam satellite system model based on variable spreading gain(VSG) IDMA,the power allocation scheme based on SINR evolution technique and transmission rate adaptation for nonreal time interactive traffic are designed as integrated parts of the CAC,working together to improve the system performance in terms of power efficiency and throughput.Further,the analysis and simulation results show that IDMA under the proposed scheme can provide better QoS,in terms of the blocking/dropping probability,outage probability as well as delay performance.

面向用户多样化业务需求的多波束卫星系统动态资源分配算法

多波束卫星通信系统由于其高吞吐量和高资源利用率而受到广泛关注.已有研究主要考虑多波束卫星通信系统的信道或功率分配问题,但较少考虑用户分组和动态资源分配策略的联合优化设计,导致系统性能受限.此外,现有研究往往假设固定的波束覆盖半径,忽略了波束覆盖半径可变性对波束覆盖性能提升的影响.本文研究了多波束卫星通信系统中的用户分组和资源分配问题,提出了一种两阶段资源管理方案.针对动态和多样化的用户服务需求,首先设计一种基于Voronoi图的迭代用户分组算法以实现分组之间的负载均衡,然后将子信道和功率分配问题建模为系统平均效用函数最大化问题.为解决该问题,将每个波束视为一个智能体,采用一种基于多智能体深度Q网络(Deep Q Network,DQN)的算法来确定子信道和功率分配策略.仿真结果表明,与K-均值用户分组方案相比,本文所提出的基于Voronoi图的迭代用户分组算法对应的用户组负载差异值可降低49.2%,体现了本文所提算法在实现用户组间负载均衡方面的优势.此外,本文所提两阶段资源管理方案与现有文献中所提算法相比,系统所提供容量与用户需求差值可降低83.43%,体现了本文所提算法在实现系统资源高效利用及用户服务需求保障方面的性能优势.

高功率环境下多丝靶设计及运行考虑

多丝靶被广泛用于束流截面测量,但是常常因为束流功率沉积导致丝被损坏。为了研究不同束流参数以及丝靶设计与丝上温度和丝变形之间的关联,开发了基于后向欧拉法的自适应步长多丝靶温度数值模拟程序,并在离子源平台上开展了由温度导致的多丝靶变形实验。模拟和实验表明:在缺失恒定张力的情况下,温度是导致丝变形的主因。基于我们的模拟计算、实验验证以及操作经验,在丝温度低于1 300 K的情况下,拉丝采用锡焊固定的方式,其结构简单成本低;在高于1 300 K的情况下,采用弹簧张力的固定方式,可以提供恒定的张力,避免丝变形。
