Combined RF Current Drive and Bootstrap Current in Tokamaks
By calculating radio frequency current drive (RFCD) and the bootstrap current in a consistent kinetic manner, we find synergistic effects in the total noninductive current density in tokamaks [1]. We include quasilinear diffusion in the Drift Kinetic Equation (DKE) in order to generalize neoclassical theory to highly non-Maxwellian electron distributions due to RFCD. The parallel plasma current...
متن کاملNumerical Studies and Simulation of the Lower Hybrid Waves Current Drive by using Fokker – Planck Equation in NSST and HT-7 Tokamaks
Recent experiments on the spherical tokamak have discovered the conditions to create a powerful plasma and ensure easy shaping and amplification of stability, high bootstrap current and confinement energy. The spherical tours (ST) fusion energy development path is complementary to the tokamak burning plasma experiment such as NSTX and higher toroidal beta regimes and improves the design of a po...
متن کاملIntroduction to Neoclassical Tearing Modes and the Role of Rotation
It is now well established from theoretical considerations and from several experimental observations of long pulse high β tokomak discharges that the limit on plasma pressure is not set by the ideal MHD modes but is rather due to the onset of low (m, n) resistive modes. These instabilities, which produce magnetic islands at the low order rational surfaces, appear to be well described by the ne...
متن کاملSpeed Control of A Three Phase Current Forced Synchronous Machine Drive Based on A Simple Method
In this paper, a new method is proposed for the speed control of a three-phase current forced synchronous machine drive. This metohd is based on the use of an approximate constant commutation safety margin angle in the output thyristor bridge of the drive system as well as on the compenastion of stator magnetization reaction. The commutation process in the output converter of the machine driv...
