In this paper, we first estimate the parameters in the original model and set up an accurate model to express how the variables change during the start-up phase, especially how the plasma current changes with respect to time and the loop voltage. Then, we apply the control parameterization method to obtain an approximate optimal parameters selection problem for the loop voltage design to achieve a desired plasma current target. Computational optimal control techniques such as the variational method and the costate method are employed to solve the problem, respectively. Finally, numerical simulations are performed and the results obtained via different methods are compared. Our numerical parameterization method and optimization procedure turn out to be effective.展开更多

Plasma start-up, plasma position, shape, current control and plasma shape reconstruction have been performed as a part of its design process. The PF coils have been designed to produce a wide range of plasmas. Plasma start-up can be achieved for multiple conditions. Fast controlling coils for plasma position inside the vacuum vessel are used for controlling the plasma vertical position on a short timescale. The PF coils control the plasma current and shape on a slower timescale. VXI (VME bus extensions for Instrumentation) Bus system and DSP (Digital Signal Processor is a basic unit of the feedback control system), the response time of which is about (2-4) ms. The basic unit of this system, the shape-controlling algorithms of a few critical points on plasma boundary and real-time equilibrium fitting (RTEFIT) will be described in this paper.展开更多

To effectively control the start-up current of the sensorless HS-BLDC motor, an adaptive control method is proposed based on the adaptive neural network（ANN）inverse system and the two degrees of freedom（2-DOF） internal model controller（IMC）. The HS-BLDC motor is identified by the online least squares support vector machine（OLS-SVM） algorithm to regulate the ANN inverse controller parameters in real time. A pseudo linear system is developed by introducing the constructed real-time inverse system into the original HS-BLDC motor system. Based on the characteristics of the pseudo linear system, an extra closed-loop feedback control strategy based on the 2-DOF IMC is proposed to improve the transient response performance and enhance the stability of the control system. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed control method is effective and perfect start-up current tracking performance is achieved.展开更多
