PROJECT OBJECTIVES

The main project objectives are:

• O1 -> Review possible approaches of complexity reduction for fast Model Predictive Control (MPC) suitable for Plasma Current and Shape Control (PSC) and possibly to Resistive Wall Modes (RWM) control
• O2 >> Implement the most appropriate fast MPC method
• O3 >> Adapt plasma models for use in MPC and prepare a set of models in different operation points of an ITER scenario, in order to assess robustness
• O4 >> Develop a suitable state-estimation technique
• O5 >> Apply fast MPC to PSC control
• O6 >> Evaluate fast MPC performance and robustness to disturbances and variation of local dynamics in comparison to existing approaches
• O7 >> Evaluate the applicability of fast MPC to RWM control
