Abstract :
The European Union ITER Home Team analysed the possibility of feeding ITER directly from the 400 kV grid. The study was based on the assumption that ITER will be located on the sites where the 400 kV grid feeds fusion experiments in Europe at present, and was performed in cooperation with the Electric Companies concerned. This study shows, as a first approximation, the ability of the European Grid to supply the ITER load, provided that measures such as increasing the power reserve and providing reactive power compensation are taken as the site location demands
