This article discusses the selection and development of power supplies for fusion reactor facilities. Of major importance are the characteristics of modern surge generators and short-period units, problems of flywheel design, comprehensive design of energy apparatus, design of excitation systems, combination of electrical-machine power supplies with mains, and the power supply regime. Discussed are: characteristics of flywheels as inertial energy-storage devices; use of metals for inertial energy-storage units; horizontal-shaft sets based on turbogenerators; sets with a horizontal shaft, based on salient-pole machines, and vertical-shaft sets of short-duration operation.
