Preliminary Conceptual Design of DEMO EC System

Minh Quang Tran

In the framework of EUROfusion Consortium the Work Package Heating and Current Drive addresses the engineering design and R&D for the electron cyclotron, ion cyclotron and neutral beam systems. This paper reports the activities performed in 2014, focusing ...

Real-time sawtooth control and NTM preemption in ITER

Olivier Sauter, Timothy Goodman, Doohyun Kim, Donghyun Kim

Real-time control of multiple plasma actuators is a requirement in advanced tokamaks; for example, for burn control, plasma current profile control and MHD stabilizationelectron cyclotron (EC) wave absorption is ideally suited especially for the latter. O ...

A new digital feedback control system (named the SCD "Systeme de Controle Distribue") has been developed, integrated and used successfully to control TCV (Tokamak a Configuration Variable) plasmas. The system is designed to be modular, distributed, and sca ...

Fast seeding of NTMs by sawtooth crashes in TCV and their preemption using ECRH

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Holger Reimerdes, Antoine Pochelon

Many tokamaks have observed that sawteeth of sufficient duration may trigger neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) that lead to plasma performance degradation. In this paper, TCV's ability to accurately control the period of individual sawteeth is exploited, u ...

Interpretation of the effects of electron cyclotron power absorption in pre-disruptive tokamak discharges in ASDEX Upgrade

Olivier Sauter, Daniele Brunetti, Hartmut Zohm

Tokamak disruptions are events of fatal collapse of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) confinement configuration, which cause a rapid loss of the plasma thermal energy and the impulsive release of magnetic energy and heat on the tokamak first wall components. T ...

Edge Localized Mode Control in TCV

Jonathan Rossel

The Tokamak concept, based on magnetic confinement of a hydrogen plasma, is one of today's most promising paths to energy production by nuclear fusion. The experimental scenarios leading to the largest fusion rate are based on a high confinement plasma reg ...

EPFL2012

Advanced tokamak operation in ITER, such as the steady-state and hybrid modes, requires an active realtime feedback control of plasma profiles to achieve the advanced regimes for sustained operation. In this work, we have explored a potentially robust cont ...

Elsevier Science Sa2012

The distortion of the plasma boundary when three-dimensional resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) are applied has been measured in MAST H-mode plasmas. When the n = 3 RMPs are applied to control edge-localized modes (ELMs), the plasma experiences a stron ...

Institute of Physics2012

An active plasma profile control approach for ITER, which is potentially robust by being tolerant to changing and uncertain physics, has been explored in this work, using a technique based on real-time estimation of linearized profile response models. The ...

Configuration of control system for damage tolerance of a tensegrity bridge

Ian Smith, Nizar Bel Hadj Ali, Sinan Korkmaz

Tensegrity structures are spatial, discrete, and lightweight structures that are composed of struts in compression and pre-stressed cables. Stability is provided by the self-stress state between elements independently of external actions. Tensegrity struct ...
