Integration concept of an Electron Cyclotron System in DEMO

Minh Quang Tran, René Chavan

The pre-conceptual layout for an electron cyclotron system (ECS) in DEMO is described. The present DEMO ECS considers only equatorial ports for both plasma heating and neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) control. This differs from ITER, where four launchers in ...

Controlling the rotation of drift tearing modes by biased electrode in ADITYA-U tokamak

Harshita Raj

The influence of background plasma poloidal rotation on the rotation frequency of the m/n = 2/1 drift tearing mode (DTM) has been studied in ADITYA-U tokamak. The poloidal rotation velocity of the background plasma in the ion diamagnetic direction is incre ...

Integrated Real-Time Supervisory Management for Off-Normal-Event Handling and Feedback Control of Tokamak Plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Alessandro Pau, Cristian Galperti, Anna Ngoc Minh Trang Vu

For long-pulse tokamaks, one of the main challenges in the control strategy is to simultaneously reach multiple control objectives and to robustly handle in real-time (RT) unexpected events [off-normal-events (ONEs)] with a limited set of actuators. We hav ...

Model-based optimization of magnetic control in the TCV tokamak: design and experiments

Federico Pesamosca

Thermonuclear controlled fusion is a promising answer to the current energy and climate issues, providing a safe carbon-free source of energy which is virtually inexhaustible. In magnetic confinement thermonuclear fusion based on tokamak reactors, hydrogen ...

Update of ion-optical system of neutral beam of Tokamak a Configuration Variable

Alexander Karpushov

An injector of fast deuterium atoms for plasma heating was designed and installed at the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV). The neutral beam can deliver 1 MW power to the plasma in 2 s pulses. An ion beam of the injector is formed by a triode multisli ...

Laser Scanning with Industrial Robot Arm for Raw-wood Fabrication

Yves Weinand, Petras Vestartas

This paper presents an integrated raw-wood fabrication workflow using an industrial robot arm and a laser scanner. The research is situated in a Swiss mountain forestry context where timber in its natural form could be applied locally without relying on la ...

Shaping effects on scrape-off layer plasma turbulence: A rigorous validation of three-dimensional simulations against TCV measurements

Paolo Ricci, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Fabio Riva

The effect of plasma shaping on scrape-off layer (SOL) plasma turbulence is investigated through a rigorous validation exercise. Two- and three-dimensional simulations of the SOL plasma dynamics in three TCV limited discharges are carried out with the GBS ...
