Progress on [N]TM modelling and control in the ITER Plasma Control System design

[Neo-classical] Tearing Modes ([N]TMs) control is crucial in high-energy devices like ITER due to the disruptions that may cause potential machine damage. This work presents a real-time [N]TM control strategy for the ITER Plasma Control System (PCS), aiming to predict [N]TMs present and their characteristics, and apply stabilization using Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH). Key components of the [N]TM control scheme are a predictor with extended co-MRE solver, coupled mode width and frequency dynamics, and a real-time [N]TM controller to track and suppress the instability. These components have demonstrated success on the TCV tokamak. The [N]TM control strategy is implemented within the ITER Plasma Control System Simulation Platform (PCSSP), showcasing a closed-loop scenario. With ITER'S upgraded ECH capacity in the new baseline, the feasibility of effective [N]TM control is significantly enhanced.
