High-speed systems technology for thermonuclear fusion applications

The aim is to research and develop high-speed technology for the helium cooling circuit of a fusion reactor. All necessary elements of this technology will be addressed, namely: research and development of the working stage, the embedded high-speed electrical machine, the magnetic bearings including their control and the provision of a frequency converter. This will result in the acquisition of the unique know-how of the sub-technology required for the DEMO project.
