Overview of the NSTX Control System
The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is an innovative magnetic fusion device that was constructed by the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) in collaboration with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Columbia University, and the University of Washington at Seattle. Since achieving first plasma in 1999, the device has been used for fusion research through an international collabor...
متن کاملElectron Bernstein Wave Research on CDX-U and NSTX
Mode-converted electron Bernstein waves (EBWs) potentially allow the measurement of local electron temperature (Te) and the implementation of local heating and current drive in spherical torus (ST) devices, which are not directly accessible to low harmonic electron cyclotron waves. This paper reports on the measurement of X-mode radiation mode-converted from EBWs observed normal to the magnetic...
متن کاملThe Simplex Architecture for Safe On-Line Control System Upgrades
In this paper, we describe the Simplex architecture, a real-time software technology which supports the safe, reliable introduction of control system upgrades while the system is running. We present the Simplex architecture from a control application point of view. In particular, we discuss the fault-tolerance feature of the technology, introduce its basic structure in control systems, and inve...
متن کاملNeutron Monitoring System and Rod Control System Upgrades for Plant Life Extension
Most nuclear power plants in operation were built in the 1970’s and 1980’s. Plants of this vintage would require extensive upgrade for the instrumentation and control (I&C) to be able to support plant life extension. The most challenging aspect of I&C upgrades for these plants is the upgrade of the neutron monitoring system (NMS) and the Reactor Manual Control System (RMCS). These are specializ...
متن کاملMojave: A Recommendation System for Software Upgrades
Software upgrades are frequent. Unfortunately, many of the upgrades either fail or misbehave.We argue that many of these failures can be avoided for new users of the upgrade by exploiting the characteristics of the upgrade and feedback from the users that have already installed it. To demonstrate that this can be achieved, we build Mojave, the first recommendation system for software upgrades. ...
