By 07. June 2016February 11th, 2026Case studies

The Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP) is one of the largest centers for fusion research in Europe. In December 2015, the scientific operation of the Wendelstein 7-X fusion experiment was started at the Greifswald site. On February 3, 2016, Chancellor Angela Merkel personally pressed the Start button to initiate the first ignition of the hydrogen plasma. The entire electrical engineering for this was planned by researchers with the E-CAD software from WSCAD.
