Power supply system for COMPASS tokamak re-installed at the IPP, Prague

Original language description

The COMPASS-D tokamak, originally operated in UKAEA Culham, UK, is being reinstalled in the Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP), AS CR. COMPASS-D was designed as a flexible tokamak in the 1980s mainly to explore MHD physics. Its operation (with D-shaped vessel) began in UKAEA in 1992. In 2001 COMPASS-D had been mothballed and later offered to the Institute of Plasma Physics (IPP Prague) AS CR. The re-installation of the COMPASS-D tokamak in IPP Prague had started in 2006. Due to the low power available from the local grid, the two flywheel-generators (47 MVA, 45 MJ, 85 Hz, 6.3 kV) are installed as storage of the required energy. Four AC/DC thyristor rectifiers provide the desired current profiles in toroidal and poloidal coil systems. The start-up circuit, which provides a loop voltage necessary for the plasma generation, is based on fully solid-state switchers and two temporarily inserted resistors.
