| Title | 55: non-VFI Operations with RTEFIT | ||
| Name: | Alan Hyatt ( |
Affiliation: | General Atomics |
| Research Area: | Model based Control | Presentation time: | Not requested | Co-Author(s): | D. Humphreys, M. Walker, J.Leuer |
| Description: | Run a standard DIII-D DND or SND plasma without using the VFI bus constraint. | ||
| Experimental Approach/Plan: | Choose and interesting plasma that would benefit from non-VFI ops. Devise, implement and test an appropriate reference flux control algorithm for the PCS using the standard RTEFIT environment. Two half-day experiments requested, separated by at least one week. | ||
| Background: | non-VFI operations has been done successfully in the FLUXRATIO environment but the only attempt in the RTEFIT environment performed poorly due to an unsophisticated reference flux algorithm and unrelated operations issues. | ||
| Resource Requirements: | No special hardware resources required. Control software will need development. | ||
| Diagnostic Requirements: | Standard diagnostics only. | ||
| Analysis Requirements: | Standard EFITs OK. No special analysis requirements. | ||
| Other Requirements: | Will use a non-VFI patch panel, so hand-off to any other experiment will use 30-45 min before experiment resume. | ||
