Magnetic control emulation development, density limit avoidance development, and pellet control development
2024 Research Campaign, Plasma Control
Purpose of Experiment
This experiment performs important control development and testing in support of the following ‘main’ experiments: A) 2024-12-01, aimed at allowing DIII-D to emulate the axisymetric magnetic control characteristics of ITER and thus expand the capability and relevance of DIII-D to ITER control research; and B) 2024-36-03, aimed at evaluating DIII-D’s potential at operating above the Greenwald limit by combining newly developed density limit metric and the proximity controller algorithm.
