Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is doing research and development in the field of high power gyrotrons for W7-X, ITER, and, towards a future DEMOnstration fusion power plant. While the initial installation of the ECRH system at W7-X is finished and operating very successfully, KIT is still involved in the development of gyrotrons for ITER. This work is coordinated by F4E and ongoing in frame...
The first part of the experimental validation of the EU 1 MW, 170 GHz conventional (hollow-cavity) gyrotron for ITER was successfully completed at KIT. During this period two prototype tubes: (1) short-pulse (SP) gyrotron and (2) industrial continuous-wave (CW) gyrotron have been experimentally tested. The achieved RF output power was in range of 1 MW (SP) and 0.8 MW (CW) with a reasonable efficiency...
In the frame of a collaborative effort between the European GYrotron Consortium (EGYC), the European domestic agency Fusion for Energy (F4E) and the Industrial partner Thales Electron Devices (TED), the first continuous wave (CW) prototype of the EU gyrotron for the ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating system has been manufactured by TED and delivered to the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) by end...
Europe is making a significant joint effort to develop high power microwave sources (gyrotrons) for nuclear fusion applications. KIT is taking a large part in this. It is involved into the developments for W7-X and ITER, and it is starting research for gyrotrons which, in future, shall operate at multi-megawatt levels at above 200 GHz and shall allow step-frequency tunability. To enable this, KIT...
EU is developing a 1 MW cylindrical cavity gyrotron. In the last year the design of the components of the new gyrotron has been finalized while the technological design of the new tube has been defined. In the present paper, the main characteristics of the new EU gyrotron for ITER are presented.
