On feedback stabilization of the tokamak plasma vertical instability
For more than a decade the vertical position instability intrinsic to vertically elongated tokamak plasmas has been relatively well understood. Controllers that stabilize this instability have been in routine use at experimental devices since the 1980s. However, most of the analysis of this instability has been restricted to low order approximations, often just one state, from which understand...
متن کاملConditions for stabilization of the tokamak plasma vertical instability using only a massless plasma analysis
This paper describes the problem of feedback control for stabilization of the plasma vertical instability in a tokamak. Such controllers are typically designed based on a model that assumes the plasma mass m is identically zero while in reality the mass is small but positive. The assumption that m is zero can lead to a controller that appears to be stabilizing according to the massless analysis...
متن کاملReal-time optical plasma boundary reconstruction for plasma position control at the TCV tokamak
A dual, high speed, real-time visible light camera setup was installed on the TCV tokamak to reconstruct optically and in real-time the plasma boundary shape. Localized light emission from the plasma boundary in tangential view, broadband visible images results in clearly resolved boundary edge-features. These projected features are detected in real-time and transformed to the poloidal plane to...
متن کاملOBSERVATION OF THE HARD DISRUPTION INSTABILITY IN THE IR-TI (IRAN-TOKAMAK 1)
In this article, some diagnostic systems and the preliminary results of the IR-T1** (Iran-Tokamak 1) are presented. Different diagnostic methods, including an array of soft X-ray detectors, visible spectrometer, electron cyclotron emission detector and electromagnetic measurement systems have been used and the hard disruptive instability occurring in the IR-T1 plasma during an ohmic heating...
متن کاملMeasurement of Edge Electrostatic Turbulence in the Tcv Tokamak Plasma Boundary
Almost since the first density profile measurements were made in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of the early tokamaks, it has been recognized that the rate of particle transport perpendicular to magnetic surfaces exceeds that expected on the basis of classical collisional diffusion by as much as three orders of magnitude. Plasma turbulence has rightfully been claimed as the origin of such large dis...
