Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are fueling a new paradigm of discoveries in natural
sciences. Today, AI has started to advance natural sciences by improving, accelerating, and …

In tokamak experimental reactors, the magnetic control system is one of the main plasma
control systems that is required, together with the density control, since the very beginning …

Magnetic controller performance requirements and design solutions for the Spherical
Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) are driven by the need to produce equilibrium and …

A ITER-like vertical stabilization (VS) algorithm has been successfully deployed and
commissioned at EAST. The proposed algorithm decouples the VS from the plasma shape …

Real-time magnetic control has been developed to deliver precise control of multiple plasma
shape parameters for advanced divertor configurations, including double-null, Super-X, X …

Elongated plasmas lead to improved performance in tokamaks but make the plasma prone
to vertical instability, which requires active feedback control, a critical issue for future fusion …

Vertical displacement event (VDE) is one of the most important events related to disruptions.
A real-time disruption prediction tool for VDE is presented in this article. Vertical growth rate …

This paper addresses the issue of magnetic control of the DEMO device through the
equatorial in-vessel coils. While vertical stabilization and radial control are typical …

In this paper we discuss the problem of plasma vertical stabilization at the EAST tokamak. By
exploiting a plasma/circuit linearized model, we show that the plant cannot be strongly …

The plasma control system (PCS) in a tokamak device is in charge of controlling the
evolution of plasma parameters according to prescribed models against uncertainties and …
