摘要:
Physical engineering capability on the superconducting magnetic system of EAST was tested and first divertor plasma configuration in EAST was obtained.The extrapolation of the safety limit has verified the reliability of the system for long pulse operation.A stably controlled diverted plasmas configuration with an elongation κ in excess of 1.8 and plasma current of up to 500 kA,by using the (copper) internal coils to control the vertical displacement instability was obtained by an optimized plasma control algorithm.Highly shaped plasma at various configura-tions,which almost covers all designed configurations for EAST,was generated stably.A number of operational issues,such as plasma initiation,ramp up and configuration control with constraints of superconducting coils,were successfully investigated.All of the results obtained proved both the capability of the superconducting poloidal magnets for operation under steady-state condition and effectiveness of the plasma control algorithm for EAST.
