STEP: generating energy from fusion
About
Fusion is the process that powers the stars and we aim to harness that process to generate electricity and other forms of energy for various industrial processes.
This webinar will introduce fusion energy generation, together with the challenges and opportunities associated with this area of technology as well as the plans for the UKAEA’s first of a kind fusion power plant - Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP).
The speakers will also discuss the general characterisation of STEP’s control system and how that compares to the control systems for fission power plant and other relevant engineering industries.
