The current density in tokamak plasmas strongly affects transport phenomena, therefore its understanding and control represent a crucial challenge for controlled thermonuclear fusion. Within the vast framework of tokamak studies, three topics have been tac ...
Tokamak plasmas operating at high performance are limited by several MHD instabilities. The sawtooth instability limits the core plasma pressure and can drive the neoclassical tearing mode unstable, but also prevents accumulation of impurities in the core. ...
The need of durable, economically acceptable and safe energy sources continues to stimulate studies in a field of thermonuclear fusion. The most successful solution for controlled magnetic fusion is the tokamak. The improvement of tokamak performance depen ...
The need of durable and abundant energy sources for future ages stimulates the studies of thermonuclear energy sources, based on hot plasma confinement by magnetic fields. The most developed concept of hot plasma trap is the tokamak, where the plasma confi ...
A high performance system, specially designed for real-time plasma control and event detection on fusion experiments has been developed by the Centro de Fusao Nuclear of the Instituto Superior Tecnico (CFN/IST). Presently it is being integrated into the ad ...
The development of controlled thermonuclear fusion, a quasi-unlimited energy source suitable for large scale electricity production, is one of the main goals of plasma physics research. Among the directions explored to date, the use of toroidal devices cal ...
The Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) programme is based on flexible plasma shaping capabilities together with a powerful electron cyclotron wave (ECW) additional heating for studies of stability, confinement, transport, control and power exhaust. In ...
Real time control of the plasma elongation and plasma current using electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) actuators has been demonstrated on TCV. Tokamak plasmas may be elongated by off-axis ECRH. The associated flattening of the current density prof ...
This paper presents the hardware and software approach to replacing the current analogue linear feedback system on the TCV Tokamak with a DSP based system to allow for non-linear control. After preliminary combination, over 120 control signals are reduced ...
Electron cyclotron heating (ECH) is widely used in magnetic fusion devices, and the polarization of the injected millimeter-wave beams plays a crucial role in the propagation and absorption of the beam energy by the plasma. This polarization can be adjuste ...
