Abstract: The ability to control, in real time, the electron cyclotron heating & current drive systems for the control of MHD instabilities is particularly important for large tokamaks operating at high performance. Several algorithms have been developed and tested on TCV to explore possible control techniques, first in simple experiments to control the plasma current and elongation and subsequently in experiments to control the sawtooth instability and profile parameters. A summary of these experiments are presented in this paper together with the application of the break-in-slope technique as a possible real time calculation of the location of EC deposition.
