Non-dimensional confinement scaling in similar negative triangularity plasmas on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks
A. Marinoni, C. Chrystal, S. Coda +25
Similarity experiments were performed on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks to explore the scaling of energy confinement in negative triangularity plasmas using non-dimensional variables.…

First experimental demonstration of plasma shape control in a tokamak through Model Predictive Control
Adriano Mele, Maria A. Topalova, Cristian Galperti +3
In this work, a Model Predictive Controller (MPC) is proposed to control the plasma shape in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV). The proposed controller relies on models ob…

Implementation of an ITER-relevant QP-based Current Limit Avoidance algorithm in the TCV tokamak
D. Frattolillo, A. Mele, C. Galperti +11
The problem of avoiding saturation of the coil currents is critical in large tokamaks with superconducting coils like ITER. Indeed, if the current limits are reached, a loss of con…
