Novel aspects of plasma control in ITER

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Sun Hee Kim

ITER plasma control design solutions and performance requirements are strongly driven by its nuclear mission, aggressive commissioning constraints, and limited number of operational discharges. In addition, high plasma energy content, heat fluxes, neutron ...

Development of the ITER Continuous External Rogowski: From conceptual design to final design

Duccio Testa, Christian Schlatter, Matthieu Toussaint, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Philippe Marmillod

In ITER, an accurate measurement of plasma current, with high reliability, is mandatory as this parameter is used to demonstrate licensing compliance with regulatory limits. For that purpose, several independent measurements based on magnetic diagnostics h ...

Physics 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. ...

Prototyping and testing of the Continuous External Rogowski ITER magnetic sensor

Duccio Testa, Matthieu Toussaint, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Philippe Marmillod

The measurement of the plasma current in ITER plays an outstanding role as it is part of the machine protection and is a safety-relevant measurement: it will be used in relation with regulatory limits to show that the operation remains within the safe enve ...

Achieving and sustaining advanced scenarios in ITER modelled by CRONOS and DINA-CH

Jonathan Bryan Lister, Javier García Hernández, Karim Besseghir

The heating and current drive characteristics for accessing advanced scenarios in ITER, close to those obtained in present-day experiments, are analysed together with the plasma performance using the prescribed-boundary CRONOS suites of codes. For the hybr ...
