| Title | 192: ITER controller assessment | ||
| Name: | Thomas A. Casper ( |
Affiliation: | Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory |
| Research Area: | ITER Startup, Shutdown, Vertical Stability | Presentation time: | Not requested | Co-Author(s): | T. Casper, D. Humphreys, J. Leuer |
| Description: | Stability during the current ramp is determined in part by the shape variation, current ramp and profiles determining the internal inductance and vertical stability growth rate. | ||
| Experimental Approach/Plan: | Vary the stability growth rate and internal inductance using different current ramp and/or shapes or auxiliary heating to change the current profile. Explore variations in time of X-point formation relevant to ITER scaled parameters. Study the controllability of the ITER-shape during the current ramp up using the variations obtained possibly in other experiments. Explore controllability in the flattop for both Ohmic and H-mode discharges using the ITER-relevant shape. Benchmark codes used to study the control of an ITER-like plasma. This data will be needed for DIII-D milestone #166. | ||
