Simplified and flexible coils for stellarators using single-stage optimization
Single-stage optimization, also known as combined plasma-coil algorithms or direct coil optimization, has recently emerged as a possible method to expedite the design of stellarator devices by including, in a single step, confinement, stability, and engineering constraints. In this work, we show how such frameworks allow us to find new …
