The optimized stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) has started with the goal to demonstrate steady-state plasma operation at fusion relevant plasma parameters. This is to establish the optimized stellarator as a viable fusion power plant concept. The design of W7-X is based on the optimization of the geometric properties of the magnetic field with the aim to minimize neoclassical transport...
