Robust Control of ECH Deposition Profiles on DIII-D
A. Rothstein, H. J. Farre-Kaga, K. Yasoda +5
Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) is a key actuator in DIII-D and future tokamaks that provides auxiliary heating, localized current drive for scenario development and MHD stability…
Enabling Integrated AI Control on DIII-D: A Control System Design with State-of-the-art Experiments
Andrew Rothstein, Hiro Joseph Farre-Kaga, Jalal Butt +7
We present the design and application of a general algorithm for Prediction And Control using MAchiNe learning (PACMAN) in DIII-D. Machine learing (ML)-based predictors and control…
Interpreting AI for Fusion: an application to Plasma Profile Analysis for Tearing Mode Stability
Hiro J Farre-Kaga, Andrew Rothstein, Rohit Sonker +6
AI models have demonstrated strong predictive capabilities for various tokamak instabilities--including tearing modes (TM), ELMs, and disruptive event--but their opaque nature rais…
Control of pedestal-top electron density using RMP and gas puff at KSTAR
Minseok Kim, S. K. Kim, A. Rothstein +20
We report the experimental results of controlling the pedestal-top electron density by applying resonant magnetic perturbation with the in-vessel control coils and the main gas puf…
Assessing the Numerical Stability of Physics Models to Equilibrium Variation through Database Comparisons
A. Rothstein, V. Ailiani, K. Krogen +7
High fidelity kinetic equilibria are crucial for tokamak modeling and analysis. Manual workflows for constructing kinetic equilibria are time consuming and subject to user error, m…
TorbeamNN: Machine learning based steering of ECH mirrors on KSTAR
Andrew Rothstein, Minseok Kim, Minho Woo +12
We have developed TorbeamNN: a machine learning surrogate model for the TORBEAM ray tracing code to predict electron cyclotron heating and current drive locations in tokamak plasma…
