摘要:

商业聚变能需要评估各种聚变概念的科学和经济可行性的框架。受Lawson准则普遍描述聚变能量增益的启发,我们开发了一个通用框架来确定聚变发电厂的经济增益。该模型利用时间平衡以及归一化到能量捕获表面的工程和成本参数。因此,推导出的经济增益标准独立于发电厂的绝对功率,不偏向其聚变技术的细节,并且可以应用于任何聚变约束概念。经济增益因子$Q_{econ}$的推导产生了非线性方程,包含十个受控的归一化设计参数,范围从聚变功率密度和表面组件寿命到能量通量、能源价格以及组件效率和成本。这十个控制参数在广泛范围内变化,以提供设计、财务和运营权衡的高层见解,从而改善经济可行的聚变能的前景。

英文摘要:

Commercial fusion energy requires frameworks to assess both the scientific and economic viability of a wide variety of fusion concepts. Inspired by the Lawson criterion's ability to universally describe fusion energy gain, a generalized framework is developed to determine the economic gain of fusion power plants. The model exploits temporal equilibrium, and engineering and cost parameters normalized to the energy capture surface. The derived criteria for economic gain are therefore independent of the power plant's absolute power, impartial to the particulars of its fusion technology, and can be applied to any fusion confinement concept. The derivation of the economic gain factor, $Q_{econ}$, results in nonlinear equations with ten controlling normalized design parameters ranging from fusion power density and surface component lifetime to energy fluence, price of energy, and component efficiency and cost. These ten controlling parameters are varied over a wide range to provide high-level insights in design, finance and operational tradeoffs that improve the prospects for economically viable fusion energy.
