Abstract
In this work, model-based control techniques are used to obtain target current profiles in low-confinement-mode (L-mode) as well as high-confinement-mode (H-mode) DIII-D discharges. The control problem is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem to search for a feasible path from the expected initial condition to the desired target. The result comprises a sequence of feedforward (open-loop) control requests and a corresponding state evolution from the initial condition to the desired target. On top of this optimal feedforward control sequence a feedback (closed-loop) controller based on a linearized model and optimal control design techniques is added to track the desired state evolution. The effectiveness of the control approach is demonstrated with experiments.
