Real-time feedback control of ELM frequency using divertor gas puffing and its effects on tungsten-induced radiation and plasma performance in KSTAR

Minseok Kim, Young-Ho Lee, SangKyeun Kim +10

The edge-localized mode (ELM) frequency () was successfully controlled in real time on KSTAR using a proportional-integral (PI) feedback controller, employing a $…

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…

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…
