MPC strategies for density profile control with pellet fueling in nuclear fusion tokamaks under uncertainty
Christopher A. Orrico, Hari Prasad Varadarajan, Matthijs van Berkel +4
Control of the density profile based on pellet fueling for the ITER nuclear fusion tokamak involves a multi-rate nonlinear system with safety-critical constraints, input delays, an…

Nuclear fusion plasma fuelling with ice pellets using a neuromorphic controller
L. L. T. C. Jansen, E. Petri, M. van Berkel +1
In reactor-grade tokamaks, pellet injection is the best candidate for core plasma fuelling. However, density control schemes that can handle the hybrid nature of this type of fuell…

Mixed-Integer MPC Strategies for Fueling and Density Control in Fusion Tokamaks
Christopher A. Orrico, Matthijs van Berkel, Thomas O. S. J. Bosman +2
Model predictive control (MPC) is promising for fueling and core density feedback control in nuclear fusion tokamaks, where the primary actuators, frozen hydrogen fuel pellets fire…
