A Software Tool for the Design of the Current Limit Avoidance System at the JET Tokamak
A Current Limit Avoidance (CLA) system has been proposed to avoid current saturations in the Poloidal Field (PF) coils of the JET tokamak when the eXtreme Shape Controller is used to control the plasma shape. The CLA uses the redundancy of the PF coil system to automatically obtain almost the same plasma shape with a different combination of control currents. This paper describes the set of graphic tools that have been recently developed to aid the design of the CLA parameters by nonexpert users.
