Fusion power plants constitute a possible future energy source. The goal of this project is to numerically model a tokamak fusion power plant and estimate its main parameters. You will develop our modular code to numerically model a tokamak fusion power plant. The power plant model is used to study physics and engineering of tokamaks and to make predictions of the main parameters of a fusion power plant usable for cost estimates. We also use it as learning tool in the class 10401 Fusion Energy and Fusion Plasma Physics at DTU. This project is framed in a long-term project to develop the simple model tokamak fusion power plant ‘Danish Torus Undertaking’. Several code extensions are of interest, for example accounting for D-shape of plasma or modeling auxiliary heating and current drive systems.
