Simulating the ITER Plasma Startup Scenario in the DIII-D Tokamak

چکیده
€ I /aB, the original 15 MA ITER baseline rampup in 110 s scales to 1.7 MA in 2.2 s for DIII-D. For the large-bore ITER scenario, discussed below, a faster ramp is specified corresponding to 1.64 MA in 1.6 s in DIII-D. In DIII-D, there are three poloidal bumper limiters on the LFS, extending 2 cm from the surrounding graphite wall tiles. In DIII-D, the original ITER startup baseline scenario has been investigated [1]. In this scenario [2], referred to here as the small-bore scenario, the discharge was initiated on the LFS limiters and plasma current was increased while edge

Demonstration of ITER Operational Scenarios on DIII - D
The DIII-D program has recently initiated an effort to provide suitably scaled experimental evaluations of four primary ITER operational scenarios. New and unique features of this work are that the plasmas incorporate essential features of the ITER scenarios and anticipated operating characteristics; e.g., the plasma cross-section, aspect ratio and value of I/aB of the DIII-D discharges match t...
متن کاملIntegrated Plasma Control in Next- Generation Devices Using Diii–d Modeling and Simulation Approaches
An extensive set of software tools for integrated plasma control has been developed, validated, and applied to the DIII–D tokamak to design controllers for plasma shape and both axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric MHD instabilities [1]. The integrated plasma control approach uses validated physics models to design controllers, and confirms their performance by operating actual machine control har...

متن کاملAdvanced Tokamak research at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility in support of ITER
Fusion energy research aims to develop an economically and environmentally sustainable energy system. The tokamak, a doughnut shaped plasma confined by magnetic fields generated by currents flowing in external coils and the plasma, is a leading concept. Advanced Tokamak (AT) research in the DIII–D tokamak seeks to provide a scientific basis for steady-state high performance operation. This nece...
