Abstract

KT-2 poloidal-field (PF) system is designed to cope the up-down symmetric double-null (DN) and asymmetric single-null (SN) discharges with typical plasma parameters, in which three sets of "design-basis" scenarios - the ohmic heating (OH), the 5MW and the high bootstrap (HIBS) baseline modes - are applied. The power and energy demand for each cases are also deduced. The peak power and the maximum energy requirements for the KT-2 magnet system, incorporating the PF and the toroidal-field (TF) coils, are proven to be 123MW and 1601MJ, respectively when it is driven in DN configuration. The KT-2 PF system is capable of achieving the machine mission of creating a 500kA heated plasma with a current flattop of $\geq$20 seconds.
