Description

The energy required for TCV tokamak pulses is provided by a turbo-generator. The planned increase in the plasma pulse length together with the installation of long pulse gyrotrons will lead to an increase of the energy demand. The extractable energy has been doubled by coupling a flywheel to the generator. The losses have been increased by only 7 %. The factory tests as well as the site tests have demonstrated that the chosen design will keep its promises. (authors)
