In order to achieve more effective heating and current drive, the effects of NBI on the heating and current drive with electron cyclotron wave （ECW） are analyzed utilizing the code TORAY and experimental data in the shot #54411 and #54417. According to the experimental and simulated results, for the heating with ECW, NBI can improve the heating efficiency-and move the power deposition place towards the inside of the plasma.

These results will be valuable for the center heating, the achievement of fully non-inductive current drive operation and the suppression of magnetohydrodynamic （MHD） instabilities with ECW on EAST or ITER with many auxiliary heating methods.展开更多
