The code NICE (Newton direct and Inverse Computation for Equilibrium) enables to solve
numerically several problems of plasma free-boundary equilibrium computations in a …

This book offers a thorough coverage of the magnetic control of a plasma in a tokamak. A
plasma is a gas in which an important fraction of the particles is ionized, so that the electrons …

The precise determination of the last closed flux surface (LCFS) location holds paramount
importance in fusion plasma discharge experiments. Traditional magnetic measurements …

The reconstruction of the equilibrium of a plasma in a Tokamak is a free boundary problem
described by the Grad–Shafranov equation in axisymmetric configuration. The right-hand …

The problem of plasma boundary reconstruction in relation to shape control was discussed.
The different approaches to guaranteeing accuracy and robustness of plasma boundary …

In this paper, we revisit the dynamic allocation scheme for input redundant plants proposed
in Zaccarian (2009). within a set-point regulation setting and propose generalizations that …

The recent development of real-time measurements and control tools in JET has enhanced
the reliability and reproducibility of the relevant ITER scenarios. Diagnostics such as charge …

The eXtreme Shape Controller, designed and implemented on the JET tokamak, was
described. The controller regulates the plasma shape as specified in terms of plasma-wall …

In the past, the Joint European Torus (JET) has operated with a first-wall composed of
Carbon Fibre Composite (CFC) tiles. The thermal properties of the wall were monitored in …

We have proposed a new approach for equilibrium reconstruction that can be applied to
ITER-like burning plasmas. In this study, we have focused on carrying out equilibrium …
