But in a multi-fusion world, FF will favor isolated and/ or stand-alone power plants which may or may not be grid-connected. Polywell favors centralized power generation, and boy are they going to have some cooling challenges! Anybody recall their target MWe and MWt figures?
Polywell initial target is 100 MWe at 80% efficiency, so that’s 120 MWt to deal with.
No mention of theoretical minimum or maximum MWe for Polywell that I can recall, with considerable speculation on 300+ GWe units etc…
