Dynamics and feedback control of ISX tokamak
Abstract
Perturbation equations of a plasma equilibrium position in a tokamak are developed. A plasma motion dynamics function is derived by neglecting second and higher order effects. This function has been used for syntheses of the required radial and axial plasma equilibrium position feedback control systems for the impurities study experiment (ISX) tokamak. Theoretical design and actual hardware step function responses of the radial plasma equilibrium position feedback control system are shown to be identical for all practical purposes.
