Abstract
- Abstract: The large tokamak fusion device JT-60 is expected to explore more advanced tokamak discharge scenarios toward the ITER and a future power reactor. Since various experimental issues are to be adequately discussed, and possibly to be solved in JT-60, the plasma real-time control system has been drastically improved with remodelling in hardware as well as in software. To satisfy the requirements, a “multiple networks” structure is employed as a basic principle of the remodelling. Distributed processors for diagnostics, actuators, and supervisory controllers are linked through a reflective memory (RM) network for fast, real-time communication. Similarly, advanced and complex calculations to reproduce plasma shape and profiles are performed by several processors connected to the same RM network. In this report, we discuss the developments to improve the JT-60 plasma control and data processing systems. In addition, a future plasma control system leading to a standard design for a power reactor is outlined, which is based on the 20-year plasma operation experience. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
