Unified Systems Engineering Methodology for the Design of ITER Diagnostic Systems | |
|
||
| To control and monitor the plasma, ITER will use a number of different diagnostic systems, each with its own operating principle, and composed of different components. The systems will go through several design stages, and a unified systems engineering methodology is needed that will generate comparable design outputs for validation, integration and assembly of the systems. However, having the same methodology for such different systems means that it has to be general enough, such that the requirements of different systems are covered, the challenge being to find a compromise between the high-level approach and the final usability of the system design. The methodology needs to be such that sufficient input is provided to the developers and engineers in the successive phases, in an effort to minimize the risks in the development and integration phases. With the goal of addressing these challenges, a common systems engineering methodology for the design of ITER diagnostic systems was derived; Cosylab tested and validated this methodology by applying it to several diagnostic systems, and also identified and implemented improvements and developments to this methodology; lessons learned and observations made in the process of applying this methodology will allow systems engineers to gain a deeper insight into the relationship between systems engineering, architecture and design, and project management, in the domain of fusion-specific developments. | ||
