Abstract
The ultimate purpose of fusion energy development is to utilize the produced fusion power mainly as electric power for ease of transmission and conversion. Irrespective of the type of fusion power plant, large circulating electric power should exist in the plant for the purpose of plasma heating, current drive, and soon. This chapter describes the typical electric power flow in fusion power plants to be built beyond ITER. In addition, the necessity of local energy storage and a high efficiency converter is discussed.
