Resistive wall mode feedback control in EXTRAP T2R with improved steady-state error and transient response

Journal Article Brunsell, P R ; Olofsson, K E. J. ; Frassinetti, L ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Experiments in the EXTRAP T2R reversed field pinch [P. R. Brunsell, H. Bergsa ring ker, M. Cecconello et al., Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 43, 1457 (2001)] on feedback control of m=1 resistive wall modes (RWMs) are compared with simulations using the cylindrical linear magnetohydrodynamic model, including the dynamics of the active coils and power amplifiers. Stabilization of the main RWMs (n=-11,-10,-9,-8,+5,+6) is shown using modest loop gains of the order G{approx}1. However, other marginally unstable RWMs (n=-2,-1,+1,+2) driven by external field errors are only partially canceled at these gains. The experimental system stability limit is confirmed by simulations showing thatmore »« less

Studies on the response of resistive-wall modes to applied magnetic perturbations in the EXTRAP T2R reversed field pinch

Journal Article Gregoratto, D ; Drake, J R ; Yadikin, D ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Arrays of magnetic coils and sensors in the EXTRAP T2R [P. R. Brunsell et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 43 1457 (2001)] reversed-field pinch have been used to investigate the plasma response to an applied resonant magnetic perturbation in the range of the resistive-wall modes (RWMs). Measured RWM growth rates agree with predictions of a cylindrical ideal-plasma model. The linear growth of low-n marginally stable RWMs is related to the so-called resonant-field amplification due to a dominant |n|=2 machine error field of about 2 G. The dynamics of the m=1 RWMs interacting with the applied field produced by the coilsmore »« less

Measurements and modeling of transport and impurity radial profiles in the EXTRAP T2R reversed field pinch

Journal Article Kuldkepp, M ; Brunsell, P R ; Cecconello, M ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Radial impurity profiles of oxygen in the rebuilt reversed field pinch EXTRAP T2R [P. R. Brunsell et al., Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 43, 1457 (2001)] have been measured with a multichannel spectrometer. Absolute ion densities for oxygen peak between 1-4x10{sup 10} cm{sup -3} for a central electron density of 1x10{sup 13} cm{sup -3}. Transport simulations with the one-dimensional transport code STRAHL with a diffusion coefficient of 20 m{sup 2} s{sup -1} yield density profiles similar to those measured. Direct measurement of the ion profile evolution during pulsed poloidal current drive suggests that the diffusion coefficient is reduced by a factormore »« less

Avoidance of tearing mode locking with electro-magnetic torque introduced by feedback-based mode rotation control in DIII-D and RFX-mod

Journal Article Okabayashi, M. ; Zanca, P. ; Strait, E. J. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Disruptions caused by tearing modes (TMs) are considered to be one of the most critical roadblocks to achieving reliable, steady-state operation of tokamak fusion reactors. Here we have demonstrated a promising scheme to avoid mode locking by utilizing the electro-magnetic (EM) torque produced with 3D coils that are available in many tokamaks. In this scheme, the EM torque is delivered to the modes by a toroidal phase shift between the externally applied field and the excited TM fields, compensating for the mode momentum loss through the interaction with the resistive wall and uncorrected error fields. Fine control of torque balancemore »« less
