Abstract:
The problem considered includes the development and modeling of an adaptive control algorithm for unstable vertical plasma positioning in a vertically elongated tokamak. At each iteration, a new PID controller is automatically synthesized for the evolving plasma model identified using the least squares method. The parameters of the feedback controller were computed based on the desired placement of the poles of the closed-loop control system in the left half-plane of the complex plane. The initial control system model utilized was a robust system synthesized using Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT). The system was simulated on a real-time digital test bed (https://www.ipu.ru/plasma/about).
Keywords:tokamak, plasma, vertical plasma instability, QFT method, observation-based identification, adaptation, automatic synthesis, real-time digital test bed.
