Progress in the ITER electron cyclotron heating and current drive system design
An electron cyclotron system is one of the four auxiliary plasma heating systems to be installed on the ITER tokamak. The ITER EC system consists of 24 gyrotrons with associated 12 high voltage power supplies, a set of evacuated transmission lines and two ...
Elsevier Science Sa2015Overview of the RFX-mod contribution to the international Fusion Science Program
Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Nicola Vianello, Leonardo Pigatto, Elena Gaio, Alberto Ferro
The RFX-mod device is operated both as a reversed field pinch (RFP), where advanced regimes featuring helical shape develop, and as a tokamak. Due to its flexibility, RFX-mod is contributing to the solution of key issues in the roadmap to ITER and DEMO, in ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2015Real-Time Control of Sawteeth and NTMs in TCV and ITER
The main goal of this thesis is to demonstrate the capability of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) instability control, particularly sawteeth and neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs), in order to achieve high performance operation. Experiments and simulations have b ...
EPFL2015The European Integrated Tokamak Modelling (ITM) effort: achievements and first physics results
Olivier Sauter, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Emanuele Poli
A selection of achievements and first physics results are presented of the European Integrated Tokamak Modelling Task Force (EFDA ITM-TF) simulation framework, which aims to provide a standardized platform and an integrated modelling suite of validated num ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2014Global structure and magnetic components of geodesic acoustic modes in shaped tokamak plasmas
Winsor et al. [1] first derived the geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) to be an elec-trostatic perturbation, localized within a narrow radial region of the plasma. There is, however, recent experimental evidence that the GAM also has a magnetic component with po ...
2014Three-dimensional distortions of the tokamak plasma boundary: boundary displacements in the presence of saturated MHD instabilities
Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Daniele Brunetti
The three-dimensional plasma boundary displacement induced by long-lasting core magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities has been measured in JET, MAST and NSTX. Only saturated instabilities are considered here since transient rapidly growing modes which de ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2014Impact of RMP magnetic field simulation models on fast ion losses
Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, David Pfefferlé, Cyril Misev
Two opposing approaches to include resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) in fast ion simulations are compared, one where the vacuum field caused by the RMP current coils is added to the axisymmetric MHD equilibrium, the other where the MHD equilibrium inc ...
International Atomic Energy Agency2014Physics of the conceptual design of the ITER plasma control system
Jonathan Bryan Lister, Richard Pitts
The ITER plasma control system (PCS) will play a central role in enabling the experimental program to attempt to sustain DT plasmas with Q = 10 for several hundred seconds and also support research toward the development of steady-state operation in ITER. ...
Elsevier Science Sa2014A Shoe-Equipped Linear Generator for Energy Harvesting
In this paper, a linear tubular generator is presented. It is used for an energy harvesting system equipped in a footwear, scavenging power from forward motion during a walk. Configuration of the generator is studied, and geometric optimization by finite-e ...
Ieee-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc2013ELM control strategies and tools: status and potential for ITER
Operating ITER in the reference inductive scenario at the design values of Ip = 15 MA and QDT = 10 requires the achievement of good H-mode confinement that relies on the presence of an edge transport barrier whose pedestal pressure height is key to plasma ...
