Description
This presentation will provide an overview of the usage of MicroTCA systems at
nuclear fusion facilities around the world. Many DAQ systems for fusion
diagnostics at KSTAR (Daejeon, Korea) and Wendelstein 7-X (Greifswald,
Germany) are currently based on the MicroTCA standard and their numbers are
growing steadily. Also ITER, the next generation Tokamak, has committed to
support MicroTCA as part of their DAQ portfolio. After a brief overview about
nuclear fusion in general and typical diagnostic challenges, this talk will
highlight a number of examples for existing MicroTCA-based systems and also
provide an outlook regarding the future plans for MicroTCA at those facilities.
