Plasma position and shape control for ITER

Key features and main results about the control of the plasma shape in ITER are presented, A control algorithm is designed to control up to 6 gaps between the plasma separatrix and the plasma facing components during the reference burn phase. Nonlinear simulations show the performances of the controller in the presence of plasma vertical position offsets, beta drops and power supply voltage saturation.
