The reactor plasma system manages the ‘triple product’ necessary to maintain a self-sustaining fusion reaction: plasma density, temperature and energy confinement time.
PDN schematics appear frequently on vessel consoles, to assist with the management and monitoring of power distribution to the systems controlled by the console. Where a PDN schematic is required on a console, a schematic module is added in the required space using the Console Designer. The schematic may then be drawn in that space (or a pre-drawn schematic added).
Power Distribution Network (PDN) schematics are included on consoles to provide an overview of available power sources and to allow for the configuration of those sources. Power sources and vessel systems connected to them are all represented on the PDN as*nodes. Nodes are connected by conduits which provide an overview of available distribution pathways for power.
The Vessel Development Group is intended as a forum for discovering, sharing and debating technology and ideas which may be useful to vessel development.
