MADE Macro-Block III: Transitioning From the Optimized TF Coil Shape to the PF Coil System

The MAgnet Design Explorer (MADE) is a Tokamak design algorithm developed initially for the DTT CS, and largely extended within the EUROfusion DEMO project [1]. MADE could function as a valuable tool for navigating the initial design stage of a tokamak project. In response to the technological developments in recent years, it has been deemed necessary to define a means capable of estimating how machine size and performance change in response to the target parameters imposed by plasma physics and by the performance of the superconducting magnet system. The MADE algorithm previously included two sequenced macro-blocks, the first dedicated to defining the toroidal magnetic field system, and the second to define the central solenoid of the machine. These macro-blocks generate two of the three main magnetic systems of the Tokamak. This paper describes the studies completed to define and implement the third macro-block, which models the poloidal coil system and the plasma vertical stability. The resulting suite of algorithms are now combined to reach an optimized winding pack architecture for all major tokamak coils at a given plant operating point. A case study based on ITER is presented in this work.
