Full steady-state operation in Tore Supra

In order to produce fully non-inductive, lower hybrid (LH) driven discharges in a systematic and reproducible manner, new operation modes have been studied on the superconducting Tore Supra tokamak. To cope with some uncertainties in the LH current drive efficiency (e.g. profile dependences), the plasma current is not imposed a priori, but evolves freely until the equilibrium (which depends on the LH power level) is reached. The voltage applied on the primary circuit no longer controls the plasma current. In an `open loop' scenario in which this voltage is preset and constant, the timescale required to attain the equilibrium is the longest characteristic time of the coupled plasma - poloidal field coils system ( s). In order to obtain a stationary state faster, a new feedback scheme has been implemented in which the primary circuit voltage is controlled in such a way that the flux consumption vanishes. It is shown that this operation mode allows full steady-state to be reached within a characteristic time of a few seconds. The underlying physics is described and a detailed analysis of the experiments is made. It is shown, in particular, that this operation scenario generates stable stationary plasmas with improved confinement, so that the so-called `LHEP' regime can be extrapolated to continuous operation.

完全な非誘導・低混成(LH)駆動放電を系統的かつ再現性よく生成するため、超伝導トカマクTore Supraにおいて新しい運転モードが研究されてきた。LH電流駆動効率における不確実性(例えば、分布依存性)に対処するため、プラズマ電流は事前に設定せず、LHパワーに依存する平衡状態に達するまで自由に発展させる。一次回路に印加する電圧はもはやプラズマ電流を制御しない。この電圧を事前に設定し一定に保つ「オープンループ」シナリオでは、平衡に達するまでの時間スケールは、プラズマ-ポロイダル磁場コイル結合系の最長時定数となる。定常状態により速く到達するため、一次回路電圧を、磁束消費がゼロになるように制御する新しいフィードバック方式が実装された。この運転モードにより、数秒の特性時間で完全定常状態に到達できることが示された。その基礎となる物理を説明し、実験の詳細な解析を行う。特に、この運転シナリオが改善された閉じ込めを有する安定な定常プラズマを生成し、いわゆる「LHEP」運転領域を連続運転へ外挿できることが示された。
