Description

The HELIAS-type Stellarator Wendelstein 7-X, which is currently under construction in Greifswald, Germany, will be equipped with a 140 GHz, 10 MW, CW ECRH system. It will be the main plasma heating system for W7-X. The key features and capabilities of the ECRH plant will be discussed together with the envisaged start-up and heating scenarios. We also report on the ECRH stray radiation test facility MISTRAL and on the extension of the gyrotron frequency range.
