Real-time implementation of the high-fidelity NBI code RABBIT into the discharge control system of ASDEX Upgrade

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Bernhard Sieglin

For the first time, a real-time capable NBI code, which has a comparable fidelity to the much more computationally expensive Monte Carlo codes such as NUBEAM, has been coupled to the discharge control system of a tokamak. This implementation has been done ...

Dynamic pulse scheduling in ASDEX Upgrade: Disruption avoidance and investigation of the H-Mode density limit

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Alessandro Pau, Bernhard Sieglin

Operation of a tokamak device requires the coordinated operation of a multitude of systems. The sequence of operations during a discharge is both too complex and fast for human interaction. A common way of operation is a predefined sequence of operations w ...

Magnetic control of tokamak plasmas through deep reinforcement learning

Ambrogio Fasoli, Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jean-Marc Moret, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Sommariva, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Cristian Galperti, Francesco Carpanese

Nuclear fusion using magnetic confinement, in particular in the tokamak configuration, is a promising path towards sustainable energy. A core challenge is to shape and maintain a high-temperature plasma within the tokamak vessel. This requires high-dimensi ...

Overview of the TCV tokamak experimental programme

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

The tokamak a configuration variable (TCV) continues to leverage its unique shaping capabilities, flexible heating systems and modern control system to address critical issues in preparation for ITER and a fusion power plant. For the 2019-20 campaign its c ...

Healing plasma current ramp-up by nitrogen seeding in the full tungsten environment of WEST

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Simon Van Mulders

Achieving a successful plasma current ramp-up in a full tungsten tokamak can be challenging due to the large core radiation (and resulting low core temperature) that can be faced with this heavy metallic impurity if its relative concentration is too high. ...

Physics-based control of neoclassical tearing modes on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti, Mengdi Kong

This paper presents recent progress in studies of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) on TCV, concerning the new physics learned and how this physics contributes to a better real-time (RT) control of NTMs. A simple technique that adds a small (sinusoidal) sw ...

Overview of JET results for optimising ITER operation

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Sommariva, Umar Sheikh, Henri Weisen

The JET 2019-2020 scientific and technological programme exploited the results of years of concerted scientific and engineering work, including the ITER-like wall (ILW: Be wall and W divertor) installed in 2010, improved diagnostic capabilities now fully a ...

Improved Plasma Vertical Position Control on TCV Using Model-Based Optimized Controller Synthesis

Stefano Coda, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti, Federico Pesamosca

Elongated plasmas lead to improved performance in tokamaks but make the plasma prone to vertical instability, which requires active feedback control, a critical issue for future fusion reactors. Vertical control was optimized for the TCV tokamak by applyin ...

Progress from ASDEX Upgrade experiments in preparing the physics basis of ITER operation and DEMO scenario development

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Benoît Labit, Alessandro Pau, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Sommariva, Laurie Porte, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle

An overview of recent results obtained at the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) is given. A work flow for predictive profile modelling of AUG discharges was established which is able to reproduce experimental H-mode plasma profiles based on engineering parameter ...

Kalman filter density reconstruction in ICRH discharges on ASDEX Upgrade

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Emiliano Fable

Plasma density is one of the key quantities that need to be controlled in real-time as it scales directly with fusion power and, if left uncontrolled, density limits can be reached leading to a disruption. On ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), the real-time measurements ...
