Homogenous power distribution along gyrotron collector walls

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray, Miguel Filipe Silva Füglister, Pierre-François Isoz

EC RF power sources will play a major role in the future operation of large scale tokamaks (ITER, DEMO). A 1MW/170GHz gyrotron is the standard RF power unit considered for ITER. Even though the efficiency of such devices has been significantly increased th ...

A locked mode indicator for disruption prediction on JET and ASDEX upgrade

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Ambrogio Fasoli, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Yves Martin, Jonathan Graves, Jean-Marc Moret, Patrick Blanchard, Holger Reimerdes

The aim of this paper is to present a signal processing algorithm that, applied to the raw Locked Mode signal, allows us to obtain a disruption indicator in principle exploitable on different tokamaks. A common definition of such an indicator for different ...

High-efficiency, long-pulse operation of MW-level dual-frequency gyrotron, 84/126GHz, for the TCV Tokamak

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Damien Fasel, Matthieu Toussaint, Pierre Lavanchy, Ugo Siravo, Jérémy Genoud, Jérémie Dubray, Jonathan Sylvain Masur

The first unit of the dual-frequency gyrotron, 84-126GHz/lMW/2s, for the upgrade of the TCV ECH system has been delivered and is presently being commissioned. During a first phase, long-pulse operation (TRF>0.5s) has been achieved and powers in excess of 0 ...

Sliding Surface Based Schemes for the Tokamak a Configuration Variable

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno

Fusion power may be seen as the energy of the future in the sense that it composes a potentially clean, cheap and unlimited power source that would reduce the worldwide dependency on non-renewable energies. Nevertheless, while nowadays the fusion reaction ...
