Power-producing fusion-reactor systems may require a complex of plasma-producing subsystems (containment, heating, and injection) and of energy-conversion subsystems (thermal and direct). To establish a basis for a comparison of these reactor power systems, generalized definitions based on power balance are proposed for the two important power-balance parameters: (1) Q (ratio of output to input power), and (2) e (fractional circulating power). The values of Q and e determined from the proposed generalized definitions are compared with values in the literature based on different definitions.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
