Plasma Control 1
- Axel Winter (Max Planck Institut für Plasmaphysik)
The plasma control system of the Joint European Torus (JET) is distributed and heterogeneous. This modularity has advantages in separating concerns that span several engineering domains, but creates integration challenges. This paper examines these issues in relation to the JET RF real-time control system. It describes how the system software has evolved over decades to respond to project...
Currently, National Research Center "Kurchatov Institute" is working on the tokamak T-15 modernization. Plasma parameters (current, position, the shape of plasma cord, electron density, and energy content) on the T-15MD tokamak are controlled by an electromagnetic system, dynamic gas injection, and a complex of additional plasma heating systems (neutral beam injection, ion-cyclotron,...
One of the key requirements for large tokamak operation is a reliable handling of off-normal states such as failures in some subsystems and their combination, not all necessarily known a priori. Handling these issues requires advanced and flexible algorithms for decision logic to ensure a reliable, while still scalable system.
Our work focuses on the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade. The ASDEX Upgrade...
Abstract:
MT-1 a small spherical Tokamak in Pakistan, is the modified version of GLAST-II (Glass Spherical Tokamak) wherein glass vacuum vessel has been replaced by metallic vessel. Its major and minor radii are 15 and 9 cm respectively. Various coil systems for generation of toroidal , poloidal magnetic fields and toroidal electric field are installed. Diagnostic systems like Rogowski...
DCS (Discharge Control System) is the IPP C++ real-time framework for plasma control at ASDEX Upgrade. Since 2016, the 2011 version of DCS has been used routinely for WEST plasma control without any kind of major issue. However, some errors occur in the interfaces with the WEST CODAC Infrastructures. Although it is not a security issue (machine integrity and operator security are not at risk),...
To support the CFETR PCS development and discharge scenario optimization, the PCS Simulation Verification Platform (PCS-VP) is designed and developed. The framework of PCS-VP is divided into three layers, as device layer, function layer, and presentation layer, which follows the layered and modular design principles. The device layer interacts with the operating system and provides hardware...
