Abstract

Plasma control system (PCS), mainly developed for real-time feedback control calculation, plays a significant part during normal discharges in a magnetic fusion device, while the tokamak simulation code (TSC) is a nonlinear numerical model that studies the time evolution of an axisymmetric magnetized tokamak plasma. The motivation to combine these two codes for an integrated simulation is specified by the facts that the control system module in TSC is relatively simple compared to PCS, and meanwhile, newly-implemented control algorithms in PCS, before applied to experimental validations, require numerical validations against a tokamak plasma simulator that TSC can act as. In this paper, details of establishment of the integrated simulation framework between the EAST PCS and TSC are generically presented, and the poloidal power supply model and data acquisition model that have been implemented in this framework are described as well. In addition, the correctness of data interactions among the EAST PCS, Simulink and TSC is clearly confirmed during an interface test, and in a simulation test, the RZIP control scheme in the EAST PCS is numerically validated using this simulation platform.
