Full tokamak discharge simulation and kinetic plasma profile control for ITER

Sun Hee Kim

Understanding non-linearly coupled physics between plasma transport and free-boundary equilibrium evolution is essential to operating future tokamak devices, such as ITER and DEMO, in the advanced tokamak operation regimes. To study the non-linearly couple ...

From sawtooth to profile control: developing feedback control using ECRH/ECCD systems on the TCV tokamak

Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, James Paley

Real time control of heating systems is essential to maximize plasma performance and avoid or neutralize instabilities under changing plasma conditions. Several feedback control algorithms have been developed on the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) t ...

Plasma rotation and momentum transport studies in the TCV tokamak based on charge exchange spectroscopy measurements

Alessandro Bortolon

Thermonuclear controlled fusion research is a highly active branch of plasma physics. The main goal is the production of energy from the fusion reaction of hydrogen isotope nuclei, the same reaction that powers stars. The most promising present approach ar ...

Turbulent ion heating in TCV tokamak plasmas

Christian Schlatter

The Tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) features the highest electron cyclotron wave power density available to resonantly heat (ECRH) the electrons and to drive noninductive currents in a fusion grade plasma (ECCD). In more than 15 years of exploitatio ...

Overview of physics research on the TCV tokamak

Ambrogio Fasoli

The Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) tokamak is equipped with high-power (4.5 MW), real-time-controllable EC systems and flexible shaping, and plays an important role in fusion research by broadening the parameter range of reactor relevant regimes, b ...

Optimal energy system design under uncertain parameters

François Maréchal, Matthias Dubuis

he aim of this paper is to discuss the integration of uncertainity analysis in an thermo-economic optimization method for process system design. Most of time energy systems are designed under constant parameters, whereas some of them are uncertain in real ...

Development of steady-state scenarios compatible with ITER-like wall conditions

Richard Pitts, Gilles Arnoux

A key issue for steady-state tokamak operation is to determine the edge conditions that are compatible both with good core confinement and with the power handling and plasma exhaust capabilities of the plasma facing components (PFCs) and divertor systems. ...

Measurement of edge electrostatic turbulence in the TCV tokamak plasma boundary

Jan Horacek

Almost since the first density profile measurements were made in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of the early tokamaks, it has been recognized that the rate of particle transport perpendicular to magnetic surfaces exceeds that expected on the basis of classical ...

Modeling and control of TCV

Jonathan Bryan Lister

A new approach to the modeling and control of tokamak fusion reactors is presented. A nonlinear model is derived using the classical arguments of Hamiltonian mechanics and a low-order linear model is derived from it. The modeling process used here addresse ...
