Plasma Vertical Stabilization in the Presence of Coil Voltage Saturation in the DIII-D Tokamak∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
An anti-windup compensator is implemented for a given nominal plasma vertical controller guaranteeing global vertical stabilization of the plasma in the presence of actuactor saturation for all reference commands. The anti-windup synthesis problem is to find a nonlinear modification of the nominal linear controller that prevents vertical instability and undesirable oscillations but leaves the nominal closed loop unmodified when there is no input saturation.

Antiwindup Scheme for Plasma Shape Control with Rate and Magnitude Actuation Constraints in the DIII-D Tokamak*
The Advanced Tokamak (AT) operating mode is the principal focus of the DIII-D tokamak. In order to be prepared for the higher control demands arising in AT scenarios, current efforts are focused on the development of an integrated multivariable controller to take into account the highly coupled influences of equilibrium shape, profile, and stability control. The first step of this project is th...

In the advanced tokamak (AT) operating mode of the DIII-D tokamak, an integrated multivariable controller takes into account highly coupled influences of plasma equilibrium shape, profile, and stability control. Time-scale separation in the system allows a multi-loop design: the inner loop closed by the nominal vertical controller designed to control a linear exponentially unstable plant and th...
