Book Description
For decades, scientists have been trying to develop clean, limitless energy by re-creating the conditions at the center of the sun here on Earth through fusion. The main reason generating power through nuclear fusion has been so unscalable as a practical means for commercial electricity production is controlling that immense, raging power. When the plasma in a fusion reaction becomes unstable, it causes severe damage such as the melting and eventually vaporizing of component. Rare & precious materials can escape confinement and destroy the walls of the reactors. These long shots, damages, loss and replacement, add up to billions of dollars during build and potentially trillions over the next century. If one could forecast these escapes, or 'disruptions,' we would mitigate their effects by building in safety protocols that would cool the plasma down gently and keep it from damaging the machine or vaporizing vital materials. Kronos Fusion Systems at MathLabs Ventures has been leveraging over a 100 billion dollars in global government research endeavours plus 60 years of Fusion Research and leap-frogging similar current thought processes in accurately demonstrating the capacity of deep learning to forecast THESE disruptions -- Decreasing the error rate here reduces the sudden loss of confinement of plasma particles and energy -- Machine Learning algorithms in our Kronos Fusion Systems drive to lower THIS error rate - thus lowering the costs on our fusion energy generators by 17-20% compared to every other chartered to be build. Tuning deep neural networks is a computationally intensive problem that requires the engagement of high-performance computing clusters. The first few principles-based approaches hit close to 80% predictive capability. They were sometimes not better than a coin flip. ALL current timelines & financials for commercial fusion energy generators are without our solution to the industry benchmarks. Our simulations show that our first Fusion Energy Generator would be 20% cheaper to build and operate than any others set to launch for the next 40 years. OUR second and third generators would subsequently have a 10% price drop to build and increases our asset value by 40%. Our machine learning-based statistical methods support vector machines like the ones at the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor or ITER which could get up to 85% or better accuracy rate with less than 5% false positives. To improve upon these prediction rates, we at Kronos Fusion, trained a neural network capable of taking into account far more variables than the earlier support vector machines with hyper-parameter tuning. Our software continues to demonstrate its ability to predict true disruptions within the 30-millisecond time frame that ITER will require while reducing the number of false alarms. The code now is closing in on the ITER requirement of 95% correct predictions with fewer than 3 percent false alarms. Our simulations show that we are well on our way to be at 99% correct predictions and 1% false alarms by 2022... 3 years before ITER goes live. Our vast databases are provided by two major fusion facilities & the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor : the DIII-D National Fusion Facility that General Atomics operates for the DOE in California, the largest facility in the United States, and the Joint European Torus (JET) in the United Kingdom, the largest facility in the world, which is managed by EUROfusion, the European Consortium for the Development of Fusion Energy. Kronos has major achievements that bode well for the prediction of disruptions on ITER and other far larger and more powerful tokamaks currently being planned and funded by G10 nations that will have to apply our machine learning capabilities and applications as a back bone to there build.
