An initial concept for the plasma diagnostic and control (D&C) system has been developed
as part of European studies towards the development of a demonstration tokamak fusion …

ITER plasma control design solutions and performance requirements are strongly driven by
its nuclear mission, aggressive commissioning constraints, and limited number of …

This paper provides an introduction to the problems of control of plasmas and plasma
magnetic-confinement devices known as tokamaks. The basic science of fusion plasmas …

ABSTRACT A thermo-magneto-hydrodynamics port-Hamiltonian model is derived for the
plasmas in tokamaks. Electromagnetic field and material domain balance equations are …

The strong temperature dependence, over certain temperature ranges, of the radiation
cooling rate of low-Z impurities, of the atomic physics cooling and particle source rates …

ITER will be the first tokamak to sustain a fusion-producing, or burning, plasma. If the plasma
temperature were to inadvertently rise in this burning regime, the positive correlation …

In this study, the ignition criteria in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
(ITER) associated with helium concentration is investigated. The main fuels used in this …

The magnetized nuclear fusion plasma is a non-linear dynamic system with limits and
constraints. It requires a sophisticated plasma control system with a wide variety of functions …

One of the fundamental problems in tokamak fusion reactors is how to control the plasma
density and temperature in order to regulate the amount of fusion power produced by the …

The entry to burn and flattop burn control in ITER will be a critical need from the first DT
experiments. Simulations are used to address time-dependent behaviour under a range of …
