Summary
Wendelstein 7-X, currently under construction at the Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik in Greifswald, is a highly optimised stellarator. Within the rather flexible magnetic configuration space of Wendelstein 7-X, the different optimisation criteria are confirmed by predictive transport simulations, which can also contribute to the design and control of plasma discharges in the later experiments.
