The Control of Modern Tokamaks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The control of tokamak fusion experiments is outlined with particular reference to the evolution of the control from primitive pre-programmed operation, through to feedback control of many parameters, finally developing advanced methods which are destined to optimise the performance of the tokamak plasma. Four examples of enhanced control of tokamak plasmas are given.

Numerical 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 کاملASTRA-Matlab Integration for the Control of Tokamaks
The current increment in energy consumption has renewed the interest in the development of alternatives to fossil fuels. In this regard, the interest in solving the different control problems existing in nuclear fusion reactors like Tokamaks has been intensified. The aim of this manuscript is to show how the ASTRA code, which is used to simulate the performance of Tokamaks, can be integrated in...
متن کاملChapter 8: Plasma operation and control
The ITER plasma control system has the same functional scope as the control systems in present tokamaks. These are plasma operation scenario sequencing, plasma basic control (magnetic and kinetic), plasma advanced control (control of RWMs, NTMs, ELMs, error fields, etc) and plasma fast shutdown. This chapter considers only plasma initiation and plasma basic control. This chapter describes the p...
متن کاملSimulation and Control of Turbulence at Tokamaks with Artificial Intelligence Methods
The control of turbulence at tokamaks is very complex problem.The idea is to apply the fuzzy Markovian processes and fuzzy Brownian motions as good approximation of general robust drift kinetic equation. It is obtained by using the artificial neural networks for solving of appropriate advanced control problem. The proof of the appropriate theorem is shown.
متن کاملControl of Chaotic Magnetic Fields in Tokamaks
Chaotic magnetic eld lines play an important role in plasma con nement by tokamaks. They can either be generated in the plasma as a result of natural instabilities or arti cially produced by external conductors, like resonant helical windings and ergodic magnetic limiters. This is a review of works carried out at the Universidade de S~ao Paulo and Universidade Federal do Paran a on theoretical ...
