1. Main research topics (repeat for every major topic)
| Title | Enhancement of plasma vertical stability of elongated plasmas with applications to ITER |
| Short description (max. 200 words) | Develop a new control algorithm for plasma vertical stabilization, based on modern control theory of minimum time response of a second order system to enhance plasma stability of very elongated plasmas with applications to ITER. |
| Specific targets | APCS Improvement and Exploitation |
| Milestones | −Integrate the simulation of the fast coils and plasma response with the control algorithm under development, running a full simulation of the closed loop cycle. −Implement the control algorithm into the Advanced Plasma Control System. −Test the control algorithm and implementation in the “real-world” by running and analyzing the results at the TCV Tokamak. |
