Title: The role of integrated modeling in discharge prediction and development of more robust algorithms for real time control

Abstract: Integrated modeling using time-dependent transport solvers is a valuable tool for the development of robust control algorithms because it enables testing the plasma response to external and internal disturbances using high fidelity physics models. We discuss time dependent modeling of the control of Neoclassical Tearing Modes (NTMs) on ITER taking into account the time scales of the ITER EC systems with respect to the mode evolution. We have interfaced the transport and equilibrium solver TRANSP with a Modified Rutherford Equation for the evolution of the NTM width and rotation frequency, with a feedback control for the EC system, and analyzed the ITER operational space, from the commissioning phase to the demonstration baseline, with different gas mixes. The results indicate that the control schemes envisaged on ITER for NTM control and extrapolated from present-day experiments should be revisited. They also open new directions for the research in support of ITER and for validation of real-time control techniques on present-day tokamaks.

UKRI Deadlines

Due to the implementation of a new UKRI funding system (TFS) there will be a fixed quarterly deadlines for some grants which would previously have been on open calls, this is to allow necessary system amendments and updates.

The first deadline after implementation will be 28th September 2023 and applies to those calls listed below:

EPSRC New Investigator Award

EPSRC Network Grant

EPSRC Post Doctoral Fellowship

EPSRC Open Fellowship

EPSRC Open Plus Fellowship

EPSRC Working with overseas scientists

EPSRC Standard research grant

EPSRC Discipline hopping in ICT

EPSRC Overseas travel grant
