Description

Real-time plasma control systems are at the heart of operation of modern tokamaks. The contribution focuses on plasma real-time control experimental activities recently performed on the TCV Tokamak of the Swiss Plasma Center, EPFL. State of the heart TCV real-time Plasma Control System (PCS) developments will be presented alongside domestic and international plasma real-time control experiments and associated results ranging from classical magnetic control, model based density control, multi task integrated control and machine learning based control. Insights on ITER control related activities will be presented too.
