In this work, model-based control techniques are used to obtain target current profiles in low-confinement-mode (L-mode) as well as high-confinement-mode (H-mode) DIII-D discharges. The control problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization probl

One of the most promising devices for realizing power production through nuclear fusion is the tokamak. To maximize performance, it is preferable that tokamak reactors achieve advanced operating scenarios characterized by good plasma confinement, imp

Extensive research has been conducted to find operating scenarios that optimize the plasma performance in nuclear fusion tokamak devices with the goal of enabling the success of the ITER project. The development, or planning, of these advanced scenar

Efficient, high-gain operation of a tokamak device requires the achievement of certain radial shapes for the toroidal current profile. The evolution in time of the toroidal current profile in tokamaks is related to the evolution of the poloidal magne

Active closed-loop control of the plasma safety factor profile ( q -profile) and internal energy dynamics in nuclear fusion tokamak devices has the potential to significantly impact the success of the ITER project. These plasma properties are related

The number of tokamak discharges required to carry out meaningful experiments can be significantly reduced by current profile control in the early startup phase. The tokamak is a plasma-confinement device, suitable for confining plasma at the requisi

During the tokamak discharge, especially the ramp-up phase, the plasma state equilibrium continually evolves. As a consequence, the plasma response model should evolve as well. We first identified a linear plasma response model of the rotational tran

The paper proposes a model-based control approach for the coupled evolution of the poloidal magnetic flux profile and the normalized pressure ratio βN. The model is determined by a system identification method which is shown to sufficiently reproduc

System identification techniques have been successfully used to obtain linear dynamic plasma response models around a particular equilibrium in different tokamaks. This paper identifies a two-time-scale dynamic model of the rotational transform ι pr

In tokamak fusion plasmas, controlling the spatial distribution profile of the toroidal current is key to achieving advanced scenarios characterized by confinement improvement and possible steady-state operation. The dynamics of the current profile a
