Invited Plenary

Large Helical Device (LHD) is one of the world-largest superconducting fusion experiment devices, having demonstrated its inherent advantage for steady-state operation since the start of experiments in 1998. LHD has also demonstrated reliable operation of the large-scale superconducting magnet system for more than eighteen years. Development of the challenging heating systems, such as...

Invited Plenary

In 2015 the optimized stellarator Wendelstein 7-X stellarator started with operation. The main objective of W7-X is the demonstration of the integrated reactor potential of the optimized stellarator line. An important element of this mission is the achievement of high heating-power and high confinement in steady-state operation. The approach to this mission is following three steps. First...
