Electrical loads

[mkovari]

Since 1 MW of electricity required to run the machine corresponds to 3 MW of fusion power, it's important to assess these loads properly.

Electrical Loads and Power Systems for the DEMO Nuclear Fusion Project (2020) (Note this is an MDPI paper.)

Tiago Pomella Lobo suggests talking to Thomas Franke, and also gave some IDM references:

• 2NQSAJ (attached below)
• 2NKF25 (attached below)
• 2PA79H (old spreadsheet)

Load list

Read the notes carefully. Some of the loads in the table are alternatives; others are maxima, but not expected to be needed in flat-top.
