Electromagnetic Design of HTS D-shaped Coils for a Toroidal-type Superconducting Magnet

High current and magnetic field are essential for achieving MCF (magnetic confinement fusion). Superconducting materials and technology have unique advantages to achieve high magnetic field and large-current transmission. With the commercialization of 2G HTS tapes, they are paid wide attention to in Tokamak magnet application. In order to investigate the feasibility of applying HTS into Tokamak magnets, a toroidal-type magnet has been designed using YBCO tapes by means of FEM analysis combining with Matlab. The effects of the coil number and coil arrangements on the critical current, the maximum parallel magnetic field, the inductance and the storage capacity of the magnet are analyzed. Based on that, key technological points of the electromagnetic design are discussed.
