The real time plasma control system for the MAST Upgrade tokamak has been substantially redeveloped from its original MAST incarnation with a new architecture that aims to manage complexity whilst maximising flexibility. It provides modular layers of functionality and supports the implementation of virtual actuators to aggregate, arbitrate and rout…
A local flux expansion method has been proposed for estimating the
strike point position for the advanced divertor configuration on MAST Upgrade
tokamak. The paper discusses the application and assesses the
performance of the technique on a long-legged divertor plasma configuration
on an operating device – the DIII-D tokamak. A comparison of …
