They are toroidal machines where the plasma is heated in a ring-shaped vessel and kept away from the vessel by applied magnetic fields. To achieve high performance in tokamaks, plasmas with elongated poloidal cross-section are needed. Such elongated plasmas are vertically unstable, hence position control on a fast time scale is clearly an essential feature of all machines. In this context the Plasma Control Upgrade (PCU) project was aimed at ...

In particular, extremely elongated plasmas, with high vertical-instability growth rate, are envisaged to reach the required performance for ignition. This request for better performance from the experimentalists' side has motivated the development of the new vertical-stabilization (VS) system at the JET tokamak, which has been proposed within the Plasma Control Upgrade ...

It turns out that, in tokamak reactors, the real-time infrastructure has to be designed so as to meet a number of common requirements. An overview of the real-time infrastructure currently adopted at the JET tokamak is given in this paper, focusing the attention on the solutions that have been developed for addressing these common ...
