The Huanliu-3, or the HL-3 “Artificial Sun” in China, is thriving in fusion energy research with its new experiments. What is more exciting is the use of a digital twin system, which is a sophisticated virtual technology that offers real-time tracking and could be the holy grail in furthering controlled nuclear fusion.
Understanding solar energy: The contribution of HL-3 in the sustainable energy evolution
The HL-3 is the most sophisticated magnetic containment nuclear fusion research facility in China and throughout the world. It was created and manufactured by the China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) on plant engineering level and is intended to reproduce nuclear fusion processes like those found in the sun where inexhaustible amounts of energy is released when hydrogen atoms fuse together.
Although still in the works, HL-3 is also a leap towards developing a sustainable and clean source of energy. The operation of HL-3 is further improved through the integration of digital twin system, which is referred to as ‘super eye’ of critical processes.
This technology provides real time control of the system’s vacuum chamber whilst the latter is in its baking process, a feat that considerably increases safety and management control. Nuclear reactor in vacuum containment is critical to the nuclear fusion process since it provides the required conditions for the formation of plasma, which is a crucial state of matter for fusion enhancement reactions.
