Finding: The pilot plant design must be based on a vetted, well-established confinement physics basis to achieve net plasma gain well in excess of unity. Conclusion: A pilot plant must
The giant International Toroidal Experimental Reactor (ITER), now under construction in France, is projected to operate in the "H-mode." ITER claims to be the last step on the way to a prototype fusion power plant based
The most widely accepted type of fusion power plant uses deuterium and tritium as fuel, and only a small fraction of fuel is consumed. As the cost of tritium reaches $30,000/g
However, the energy supply instability resulting from their volatility, intermittency, and other drawbacks will persist until energy storage technologies become adequately mature
Yuan et al. [17] proved that VPP could effectively improve peak shaving projects in operation or under construction in China. Hence, optimizing multi-energy VPPs with

The China fusion engineering test reactor (CFETR) has competed the first round of engineering design, which aims to bridge the gaps between the fusion experimental reactor
EU-DEMO is a European project, having the ambitious goal to be the first demonstrative power plant based on nuclear fusion. The electrical power that is expected to be produced is in the
"China is taking a strategic approach to invest in and develop its fusion energy programme, with a view of long-term leadership in the global field," says Yasmin Andrew, a plasma physicist at
These include tritium handling and the tritium cycle; materials and their survivability in the high-energy neutron environment of D-T fusion; neutronics and the validation of nuclear data; remote handling and
In the UK, the STEP prototype fusion energy plant will be built on the site of a former coal-fired power station in North Nottinghamshire. A second important aspect of this is the collaboration between Type One Energy, TVA,
The disorderly use of electricity in agriculture is a serious source of the current electricity tension, and as distributed energy is expediently promoted, it is becoming
The layout presented in this paper are all well adapted to the thermal operation of the newly added energy storage system that may be applied in the fusion power plant general layout.</sec>
To address these issues, this study proposed an innovative approach integrating energy storage into fusion power supply system.
In the 2030s, before ITER will have begun its main experiments, the country aims to build the China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor (CFETR), with the goal of producing up to 1 gigawatt of fusion power. If China’s plans work out, a prototype fusion power plant could follow in the next few decades, according to a 2022 road map (J. Zheng et al.

The Innovation 3, 100269; 2022). “China is taking a strategic approach to invest in and develop its fusion energy programme, with a view of long-term leadership in the global field,” says Yasmin Andrew, a plasma physicist at Imperial College London.
The novel fusion power supply can be applied in these projects, and the energy storage device it contains can be used to stabilize the periodic energy cliff generated during the fusion power generation process.
We find that there could potentially be a very large market for fusion power plants with an LCOE of 50 $/ \ (\hbox {MWh}_ {\mathrm {e}}\). Integrated thermal storage may help fusion compete on power grids dominated by solar and wind, which bid at 0 $/ \ (\hbox {MWh}_ {\mathrm {e}}\) for much of the day.
