Nonlinear Burn Control in Tokamak Fusion Reactors Via Output Feedback
The next experimental step in the development of nuclear fusion reactors is the ITER tokamak. It is designed to explore the burning plasma regime in which the plasma temperature is sustained mostly by self-heating from fusion reactions. Burn control, the control of fusion power and other reactor parameters through modulation of fueling and heating, will be essential for achieving and maintainin...
متن کاملOn the fusion triple product and fusion power gain of tokamak pilot plants and reactors
The energy confinement time of tokamak plasmas scales positively with plasma size and so it is generally expected that the fusion triple product, nTτE, will also increase with size, and this has been part of the motivation for building devices of increasing size including ITER. Here n, T, and τE are the ion density, ion temperature and energy confinement time respectively. However, tokamak plas...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of Low-power Tokamak Reactors
Global models are useful in the analysis of fusion reactors due to the facility in computing and presenting the results in terms of comprehensive parameters. A general figure of merit, which encompasses all the relevant tokamak parameters, is introduced in this article by a convenient normalization of the global power balance equation. In this way, different hypothetical tokamak reactors can be...
متن کاملRadiation Shielding for Fusion Reactors
Radiation shielding requirements for fusion reactors present different problems than those for fission reactors and accelerators. Fusion devices, particularly tokamak reactors, are complicated by geometry constraints that complicate disposition of fully effective shielding. This paper reviews some of these shielding issues and suggested solutions for optimizing the machine and biological shield...
متن کاملPreliminary Control-oriented Linear Models for Plasma in Tokamak Reactors
The control of plasma in nuclear fusion has been revealed as a promising application of Control Engineering, with increasing interest in the control community during last years. In this paper it is outlined a control-oriented linear model for the control of plasma current. For this purpose, it is firstly provided a summary of the background necessary to deal with control problems in tokamak-bas...
