Title: Overview of the preliminary design of the ITER plasma control system

Abstract

An overview of the Preliminary Design of the ITER Plasma Control System (PCS) is described here, which focusses on the needs for 1st plasma and early plasma operation in hydrogen/helium (H/He) up to a plasma current of 15 MA with moderate auxiliary heating power in low confinement mode (L-mode). Candidate control schemes for basic magnetic control, including divertor operation and kinetic control of the electron density with gas puffing and pellet injection, were developed. Commissioning of the auxiliary heating systems is included as well as support functions for stray field topology and real-time plasma boundary reconstruction. Initial exception handling schemes for faults of essential plant systems and for disruption protection were developed. The PCS architecture was also developed to be capable of handling basic control for early commissioning and the advanced control functions that will be needed for future high performance operation. A plasma control simulator is also being developed to test and validate control schemes. To handle the complexity of the ITER PCS, a systems engineering approach has been adopted with the development of a plasma control database to keep track of all control requirements.

Controlling marginally detached divertor plasmas

Journal Article Eldon, David ; Kolemen, Egemen ; Barton, Joseph L. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

A new control system at DIII-D has stabilized the inter-ELM detached divertor plasma state for H-mode in close proximity to the threshold for reattachment, thus demonstrating the ability to maintain detachment with minimal gas puffing. When the same control system was instead ordered to hold the plasma at the threshold (here defined as T_e = 5 eV near the divertor target plate), the resulting T_e profiles separated into two groups with one group consistent with marginal detachment, and the other with marginal attachment. The plasma dithers between the attached and detached states when the control system attempts to hold at the threshold. The control system is upgraded from the one described in and it handles ELMing plasmas by using real time D_α measurements to remove during-ELM slices from real time T_e measurements derived from divertor Thomson scattering. The difference between measured and requested inter-ELM T_e is passed to a PID (proportionalintegral-derivative) controller to determine gas puff commands. While some degree of detachment is essential for the health of ITER’s divertor, more deeply detached plasmas have greater radiative losses and, at the extreme, confinement degradation, making it desirable to limit detachment to the minimum level needed to protect the target plate. However, the observed bifurcation in plasma conditions at the outer strike point with the ion B ×more »« less

ITER power and particle control system

Journal Article Post, D ; Ando, T ; Antipenkov, A - Fusion Technology

The ITER power and particle control system is designed to exhaust the 300 to 400 MW of alpha and auxiliary heating power and the 5 x 10{sup 20} He atoms per second created by the fusion reactions, to control the density and to fuel the plasma. The power and particle control system consists of a single null poloidal divertor, a set of active pumps with a total pumping speed of approx. 200 m{sup 3}/s, and gas puffing and pellet fuelling systems. Atomic processes are used to spread out the heating power over the first wall and divertor walls, thereby reducingmore »« less
Development of ITER non-activation phase operation scenarios

Journal Article Kim, S. H. ; Poli, F. M. ; Koechl, F. ; ... - Nuclear Fusion

Non-activation phase operations in ITER in hydrogen (H) and helium (He) will be important for commissioning of tokamak systems, such as diagnostics, heating and current drive (HCD) systems, coils and plasma control systems, and for validation of techniques necessary for establishing operations in DT. The assessment of feasible HCD schemes at various toroidal fields (2.65–5.3 T) has revealed that the previously applied assumptions need to be refined for the ITER non-activation phase H/He operations. A study of the ranges of plasma density and profile shape using the JINTRAC suite of codes has indicated that the hydrogen pellet fuelling into Hemore »« less
