Superconducting Materials and Applications

A newly upgraded IVCC (In-Vessel Control Coil) system equipped with four broadband power supplies, along with a current connection patch panel, are introduced with a discussion of their capabilities on various KSTAR experiments. Until the 2014 KSTAR experimental campaign, the non-axisymmetric field configuration could not be changed in a shot, let alone the limited number of accessible configurations. With the installation of the new power supplies, such restrictions have been greatly reduced. Based on the 2015 KSTAR run-campaign, this new system was confirmed to easily cope with various dynamic demands for toroidal and poloidal phases of the 3D magnetic field in a shot. With newly equipped magnetic sensors, this enables us to extend the operational options and further explore the 3D physics for tokamak plasmas.
