A new vertical position control system, including an internal active coil, has become operational on TCV. The new system has made it possible to stabilize plasmas with open loop growth rates up to 4400 s(-1), currents up to 1.0 MA and elongations up to 2.5 ...
The Joint European Torus (JET) has recently operated with deuterium-tritium (DT) mixtures, carried out an International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) physics campaign in hydrogen, deuterium, DT and tritium, installed the Mark IIGB 'Gas Box' div ...
A high-order, multivariable, modern plasma controller has been designed using H-infinity optimal control techniques and tested oil the Tokamak Configuration Variable (TCV) tokamak. An initial design for the control of the plasma current, position, and shap ...
Precise control of the shape and position of double-null divertor configurations in the TCV tokamak has been used to trigger reliably the transition from ELM-free to ELMy ohmic H mode and back. Preprogrammed modulation of the magnetic axis height (+/- 1.25 ...
Active feedback stabilization of the vertical instability is studied for highly elongated tokamak plasmas (2 less-than-or-equal-to kappa less-than-or-equal-to 3) and evaluated in particular for the TCV configuration. It is shown that the feedback can stron ...
Divertor detachment is currently assumed to be a fundamental pre-requisite for the successful operation of future fusion reactors. Only by partially detaching the divertor in the regions of highest power flux density can high performance tokamak operation ...
Experiments on edge turbulence in the TCV tokamak have been performed for the first time at the beginning of 2003. This paper presents an overview of some of the results obtained, concentrating in particular on two areas: universality of density fluctuatio ...
Transport phenomena in tokamak plasmas strongly limit the particle and energy confinement and represent a crucial obstacle to controlled thermonuclear fusion. Within the vast framework of transport studies, three topics have been tackled in the present the ...
