Observation of magnetic islands in tokamak plasmas during the suppression of edge-localized modes

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Benoît Labit, Laurie Porte, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Alessandro Pau, Mengdi Kong, Cristian Sommariva

In tokamaks, a leading platform for fusion energy, periodic filamentary plasma eruptions known as edge-localized modes occur in plasmas with high-energy confinement and steep pressure profiles at the plasma edge. These edge-localized modes could damage the ...

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 ...

Enhancing model-based feedback perimeter control with data-driven online adaptive optimization

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mohammadreza Saeedmanesh, Anastasios Kouvelas

Most feedback perimeter control approaches that are based on the Macroscopic Fundamental Diagram (MFD) and are tested in detailed network structures restrict inflow from the external boundary of the network. Although such a measure is beneficial for the ne ...

A new model for TBM performance prediction in blocky rock conditions

Jian Zhao, Andrea Delisio

The term "blocky rock conditions" is generally associated with face instabilities in blocky/jointed rock masses. These events are generally promoted by unfavorable rock mass structural conditions, in terms of joint frequency and orientation, and acting str ...
