德文斯,马萨诸塞州,2024年12月17日 /PRNewswire/ -- 英联邦聚变系统(CFS),最大的私人聚变公司,今天宣布将于弗吉尼亚州切斯特菲尔德县的James River工业园区建设世界上第一个电网规模的商业聚变电站。
As part of this effort, CFS has reached an agreement with Dominion Energy Virginia to provide non-financial collaboration, including development and technical expertise as well as leasing rights for the proposed site. Dominion Energy Virginia currently owns the proposed site.
作为此项努力的一部分,CFS已与多米尼能源弗吉尼亚达成协议,以提供非财务合作,包括开发和技术专长,以及拟选地点的租赁权。多米尼能源弗吉尼亚目前拥有拟选地点。
CFS conducted a global search for the site of its first commercial fusion power plant, known as ARC, which the company will independently finance, build, own, and operate.
CFS对其第一个商业聚变电站ARC的选址进行了全球搜索,该电站将由公司独立融资、建设、拥有和运营。
"This is a historic moment. In the early 2030s, all eyes will be on the Richmond region and more specifically Chesterfield County, Virginia, as the birthplace of commercial fusion energy," said Bob Mumgaard, Chief Executive Officer and Co-founder of Commonwealth Fusion Systems. "Virginia emerged as a strong partner as they look to implement innovative solutions for both reliable electricity and clean forms of power. We are pleased to collaborate with Dominion Energy."
“这是一个历史性时刻。在2030年代初,所有的目光将聚焦于里士满地区,更具体地说是弗吉尼亚州切斯特菲尔德县,作为商业聚变能源的诞生地,”英联邦聚变系统的首席执行官兼联合创始人鲍勃·穆甘德(Bob Mumgaard)说。“弗吉尼亚州作为强有力的合作伙伴,致力于实施可靠电力和清洁能源的创新解决方案。我们很高兴能与多米尼能源合作。”
"Commonwealth Fusion Systems is the clear industry leader in advancing the exciting energy potential of fusion," said Edward H. Baine, President of Dominion Energy Virginia. "Our customers' growing needs for reliable, carbon-free power benefits from as diverse a menu of power generation options as possible, and in that spirit, we are delighted to assist CFS in their efforts."
“英联邦聚变系统在推动聚变令人兴奋的能源潜力方面是明显的行业领导者,”多米尼能源弗吉尼亚的总裁爱德华·H·巴因(Edward H. Baine)说。“我们的客户日益增长的可靠、零碳电力需求,受益于尽可能多样的发电选项,在这种精神下,我们很高兴能帮助CFS实现他们的努力。”
The new ARC fusion power plant will support economic development and the clean energy goals of Virginia. The project is expected to generate billions of dollars in economic development in the region and create hundreds of jobs during the construction and long-term operation of the power plant. ARC will generate about 400 megawatts of electricity — enough energy to power large industrial sites or about 150,000 homes.
新的ARC聚变电站将支持经济发展和弗吉尼亚的清洁能源目标。预计该项目将在该地区产生数十亿美元的经济发展,并在电站的施工和长期运营过程中创造数百个就业岗位。ARC将产生约400兆瓦的电力——足够为大型工业场所或大约150,000户家庭提供能源。
CFS is currently completing development of its fusion demonstration machine, SPARC, at its headquarters in Devens, Massachusetts. SPARC is expected to produce its first plasma in 2026 and net fusion energy shortly after, demonstrating for the first time a commercially relevant design that will produce more power than consumed. SPARC paves the way for ARC, which is expected to deliver power to the grid in the early 2030s.
CFS目前正在其位于马萨诸塞州德文斯的总部完成其聚变演示机器SPARC的开发。SPARC预计将在2026年产生其第一束等离子体,并在此之后产生净聚变能量,首次展示一个商业上相关的设计,该设计将产生的能量超过消耗的能量。SPARC为ARC铺平了道路,预计在2030年代初向电网提供电力。
