In this work we present the assessment framework for magnetic equilibrium controllers on MAST-U spherical tokamak. Such controllers are essential for MAST-U since exhaust physics and core-edge integration studies require advanced divertor plasma configurations. The developed framework is based on the TokSys suite of plasma control codes, which was …
Model-based plasma scenario development lies at the heart of the design and operation of future fusion powerplants. Including gyrokinetic turbulence in integrated models is essential for delivering a successful roadmap towards operation of ITER and the design of DEMO-class devices. Given the highly iterative nature of integrated models, fast machin…
