Zusammenfassung:The effects of misalignment of modular coils on various physical properties in the Chinese first quasi-axisymmetric Stellarator (CFQS) are discussed in this study. To estimate the effects quantitatively, simple assumptions are made regarding the structure of coil displacement. We consider the following three cases: displacement in radial direction (Case A), displacement in the vertical direction (Case B), and displacement by tilting (Case C). In all cases, we assume that the displacement structure has a stellarator symmetry. These assumptions are employed to calculate the change in the magnetic surfaces, rotational transform profile, magnetic well depth profile, and the effective helical ripple. Calculation results show that if the magnitude of displacement is less than 10 mm, the effects on these physical properties are small, and the good neoclassical transport property is retained.
