Plasma Control 2
- Sang-hee Hahn (National Fusion Research Institute)
Abstract EAST PCS, a linux cluster configured with real-time data acquisition and data transmission hardware devices, executes a series of algorithms for plasma parameters control in real time. The control performance and reliability of PCS determines the operation safety of the device and the achievements of physics experiment objectives. In order to test the performance of whole control...
The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) was built to demonstrate high-power, long-pulse operations under fusion-relevant conditions, which has ITER-like fully superconductive coils and water-cooled tungsten (W) mono-block structure. In order to construct distributed real-time subsystems for control and verify the performance of real-time framework (RTF) of ITER, the radiation...
TCV has a flexible, digital, distributed control system for testing experimental control algorithms, acquiring data from hundreds of diagnostic channels and controlling all magnetic, heating and fueling actuators. We present the state of the system, focusing on the latest upgrades, and the key control capabilities enabled by the system. The control algorithm code is developed and maintained in...
HL-2M is a medium-size tokamak constructed by Southwestern Institute of Physics (SWIP) in China. The first plasma has been successfully obtained in 2020 by using a plasma control system (PCS) based on Labview RT. In order to get better plasma control performance, a new PCS based on the software framework of DIII-D PCS has been proposed.
There are two concerns about realizing the PCS....
JET experiments include feedback control implemented via the real-time central controller (RTCC). This system is highly data driven. Controllers can be adapted and tuned during experimental sessions by expert users. The original implementation has been expanded and updated many times. For future campaigns, further growth in terms of both capacity and capability is desirable, but this is not...
A set of MDSplus devices which abstract MARTe2 components and their communications has been developed. As these are applied to real applications, they are being refined and expanded. Generic versions of the Simulink and python GAMs have been developed obviating the need to create a new MDSplus device type for each simulink component or python routine. These provide a mechanism to quickly...
