1 Optimization of Stationary High-Performance Scenarios Presented by T.C. Luce National Fusion Program Midterm Review Office of Fusion Energy Science Washington, DC September, 6 QTYUIOP 8-6/TCL/rs

2 Strategy for Optimizing Tokamak Performance The program strategy is to determine the operational limits and establish the scientific basis for design choices in future tokamaks (Fusion Performance) β Advanced Inductive Current Limit Conventional Tokamak Steady State β β N = N = 5 β P (Bootstrap Current) Equilibrium Limit Conventional tokamak scenarios (like the ITER baseline scenario) run at relatively low pressure near the current limit Advanced inductive scenarios have higher pressures, but still are close to the current limit Steady-state scenarios move away from the current limit to maximize the self-driven bootstrap current and push toward the pressure limit to maximize fusion performance without current drive 8-6/TCL/rs

3 Advanced Scenarios Under Development in Are Uniquely Associated with Distinct Current Profiles 5 Optimization objectives: q Steady State High q min High l i Conventional Advanced Inductive or Hybrid Steady state True steady-state operation at high fusion energy gain Advanced inductive or hybrid Maximum fusion power, maximum fluence per inductive pulse (increased duty cycle)... ρ /TCL/rs

4 Optimization Strategy Provides Essential Information for ITER Operation and Beyond Toward ITER needs: advanced inductive scenario research indicates ITER has significant margin to achieve its Q fus = goal and may be able to pursue a limited nuclear testing program steady-state scenario research is working toward establishing the operational basis for noninductive performance with Q fus 5 in ITER Beyond ITER: The program seeks to provide input on a crucial issue for DEMO whether to continue with designs for high gain with inductive current drive or jump directly to a design optimized for steady-state operation The program is striving to provide the essential scientific basis for optimization of tokamak design (double null vs single null, current profile, shape,...) for other uses of fusion (CTF, H production,...) 8-6/TCL/rs

5 Outline In this talk, three research areas will be addressed: Steady-state scenarios Control tools and methods Advanced inductive or hybrid scenarios In each area, the following points will be addressed: Goals envisioned in the 8 proposal Progress achieved toward these goals Adaptations of the research plan will be discussed in the summary Modeling is a key element in the progress achieved in all areas, but the time is insufficient to describe the progress and how it was achieved 8-6/TCL/rs

Murakami, et al., Phys. Plasmas, 566 (6) 8-6/TCL/rs

10 Early Shape Optimization Experiments Showed the Largest Improvement in β Came From Single Null to Double Null β N Double Null Higher δ Single Null q 95 I/aB (MA/mT) Significant improvement observed in changing from single null to double null (confirmed in pumped longer-pulse discharges this yearsee packet) Little improvement observed with more triangularity at fixed elongation Experiments validated plan to install lower divertor symmetric to the existing upper divertor Pressure limits probed transiently without pumping J. Ferron, APS Invited Talk J. Ferron, et al., Phys. Plasmas, 566 (5) 8-6/TCL/rs

11 Recent Optimization of Plasma Shape Leads to Stable Operation at Higher β and Higher Confinement 5 H β N β H /q N ITER baseline target 5 Time (ms) Optimal shape has both higher sustained pressure and higher confinement Elongation and triangularity are fixed; outer squareness is varied this quantity does not appear in any empirical scaling Best case approaches the ITER Q fus = target conditions C. Greenfield, IAEA 6 Talk 8-6/TCL/rs

12 Early q Profile Optimization Experiments Showed the Achievable Pressure Decreases with Increasing q min β N..5. Transient Maximum Experimental β N Long duration The no-wall, long-pulse, and transient pressure limits all drop with q min This correlation implies the expected gain in f BS at higher q min may be offset by a lower pressure pressure limit.5.

Plasmas, 566 (5) Experiments are planned to see if this result applies generally to all shapes Preliminary experiments with an alternate optimization (high l i ) also transiently exceed β N = (see packet) 8-6/TCL/rs

31 Program Goals for the Remainder of the Five-Year Program Plan for Advanced Inductive Scenarios Work toward establishing the physics basis for the existence of stationary current profiles with high tearing mode pressure limits Effects of tearing modes and ELMs on J() Measurements of fast ion distribution Modeling of poloidal flux evolution Understanding of what initial conditions are necessary and sufficient to access high performance Work toward establishing the physics basis for transport extrapolations to burning plasmas ρ * scaling Rotation effects T e /T i effects Note: These goals are closely aligned to the ITPA/IEA Joint Experiment goals 8-6/TCL/rs

32 Summary Research in the area of stationary high-performance scenario development has made significant progress since. Delays in pulse extension experiments due to source limitations of the EC and FW systems have been compensated by accelerating work in the control and optimization areas Additional scope has been added in the area of advanced inductive or hybrid scenarios in recognition of the potential uses in ITER The work on all advanced scenarios has been substantially enhanced by the international cooperation fostered by the ITPA. Sharing of personnel, analysis tools, and results among several tokamaks has benefited the research program 8-6/TCL/rs
