This paper deals with the use of a model predictive control technique to perform the magnetic confinement of a plasma in the DEMO tokamak. We show how to adapt the proposed strategy for the different phases, and hence different goals, of the plasma discharge and how to take into account the constraints that characterize the normal operations of a nuclear fusion reactor. We validate the performance of the proposed control system by using a nonlinear evolution code describing the plasma in a tokamak.

Abstract
This paper deals with the use of a model predictive control technique to perform the magnetic confinement of a plasma in the DEMO tokamak. We show how to adapt the proposed strategy for the different phases, and hence different goals, of the plasma discharge and how to take into account the constraints that characterize the normal operations of a nuclear fusion reactor. We validate the performance of the proposed control system by using a nonlinear evolution code describing the plasma in a tokamak.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
