Abstract
A new in-vessel water-cooled coil has been placed below the lower tungsten-covered divertor in EAST, aiming at moving the strike points in the divertor and spreading the heat flow on the targets. To achieve controlled movement of the strike points by the plasma control system (PCS) when applying the in-vessel coil, the plasma equilibrium configurations are predicted by the tokamak equilibrium (TEQ) code. The divertor coil current is involved in these calculations. The shape control parameters in the PCS are adjusted according to the predesigned equilibria from the TEQ code. The strike point movement over a wide range has been achieved in the experiment while keeping the main plasma stable. Thus, this method for divertor strike point movement with the assistance of the divertor coil is feasible.
