Abstract

The effect of ELMS on the vertical position observer in TCV has been investigated and a new, optimized, observer which minimizes the influence of ELMS has been constructed. The new observer has been tested in TCV, under closed loop conditions, and it is shown to be considerably less sensitive to ELMS than the classical observer. In order to determine whether this method could also be used in JET, ELMy H mode discharges and vertical displacement events in JET are analysed and a modified vertical position observer is constructed, optimized for JET conditions. It is shown that, if this new observer had been used in JET, the perturbations caused by ELMS would have been greatly reduced.

Classical mechanics

Classical mechanics is a physical theory describing the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery and astronomical objects, such as spacecraft, planets, stars, and galaxies. For objects governed by classical mechanics, if the present state is known, it is possible to predict how it will move in the future (determinism), and how it has moved in the past (reversibility). The "classical" in "classical mechanics" does not refer classical antiquity, as it might in, say, classical architecture.

Theory of relativity

The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated physics theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity. General relativity explains the law of gravitation and its relation to the forces of nature. It applies to the cosmological and astrophysical realm, including astronomy.

Inertial frame of reference

In classical physics and special relativity, an inertial frame of reference (also called inertial space, or Galilean reference frame) is a frame of reference not undergoing any acceleration. It is a frame in which an isolated physical object—an object with zero net force acting on it—is perceived to move with a constant velocity or, equivalently, it is a frame of reference in which Newton's first law of motion holds.
