Can energy storage be integrated into fusion power supply system?

To address these issues, this study proposed an innovative approach integrating energy storage into fusion power supply system.

Can energy storage fusion power supply be used in superconducting magnets?

In order to reduce the impact of large-capacity fusion power supply on the power grid and make full use of the energy in superconducting magnets, this study proposed a hybrid and multi-element novel energy storage fusion power supply topology.

What is a dual-system energy storage system?

By utilizing a combination of strategically located lithium-ion batteries and supercapacitors within the power supply structure, a dual-system configuration is introduced: the grid provides stable power, while the energy storage units supply pulse power, effectively mitigating grid impact and reducing transformer capacity requirements.

How will fusion power supply impact the grid?

Upon comparison with the traditional power topology, the novel fusion power supply reduced power impact by 80 % on the grid while the cost remains unchanged. And main transformer capacity reduced by 60 %, which will greatly reduce operating costs.

What is utility fusion theory?

In the optimization planning method developed, the objectives of cost-effective and low-carbon operation, the lifecycle cost of hybrid energy storage, power quality improvements, and renewable energy utilization are targeted and coordinated by using utility fusion theory.

Is fusion power supply a viable option for self-sustainable nuclear fusion?

An evaluation model has been established fusion power supply. In response to the escalating capacity and requirement of fusion devices for self-sustainable nuclear fusion reactions, a significant challenge arises in the form of severe power impact on the grid and redundancy in the power supply.
