Title 295: preliminary simulated burn control
Name:Gary Staebler staebler@fusion.gat.com Affiliation:General Atomics
Research Area:Turbulence & Transport Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): ITPA Joint Experiment : No
Description: This experiment would establish the feedback control requirments for a simulation of fusion burn control on DIII-D ITER IO Urgent Research Task : No
Experimental Approach/Plan: use two NBI boxes in helium, one co the other counter to simulate the heating due to alpha-particles. Ultimately the power of these beams in balanced pairs would be on feedbackc control based on a sclaed calculation of the alpha-particle heating due to fusion reaction determined by the EFIT thermal stored energy. pre-programmed ramps of the balance helium beam power would be used to establish the response of the plasma so that a feedback algorithm could be developed off line for latter use.
Background: ITER needs this. It cannot be developed on ITER due to disruption risk.
Resource Requirements: ITER baseline H-mode resources + two beam boxes in Helium.
