Abstract
Vertical displacement event (VDE) is one of the most important events related to disruptions. A real-time disruption prediction tool for VDE is presented in this article. Vertical growth rate is an essential parameter to describe vertical instability, which can be obtained based on the rigid plasma response model. A real-time vertical growth rate calculation system is built, which utilizes graphics process unit (GPU) parallel computation and reflective memory (RFM) boards communication with plasma control system (PCS). Based on real-time vertical growth rate calculation system, an alarm algorithm for detecting vertical instability is integrated into experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) PCS. It is designed to provide the capabilities of a switching control method and to trigger a warning signal in PCS when uncontrollable vertical instability is detected. Such a disruption prediction tool has been preliminarily applied in the 2019 EAST spring experiment.
