Final design and construction of the Wendelstein7-X coils

The Stellarator of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment contains a system of 50 non-planar and 20 planar superconducting coils. The coils were designed by the IPP. The coil manufacturing and inspection is shared between several European enterprises and consortiums. The coils consist of the winding...

Description
Summary:The Stellarator of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment contains a system of 50 non-planar and 20 planar superconducting coils. The coils were designed by the IPP. The coil manufacturing and inspection is shared between several European enterprises and consortiums. The coils consist of the winding pack embedded in a stainless steel casing and of the related instrumentation. Design details, tolerances and guarantee values and differences between the coils types are described in the contribution. The features of the superconductor are described separately. Finally, the contribution indicates measures adopted by the W7-X project to ensure the quality of the coil design and manufacturing.
