Development of lower hybrid wave power feedback control and experiments on EAST

Abstract A new method of power feedback control for the lower hybrid wave (LHW) systems on the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) is presented. Different methods are applied to control the power of two LHW systems with different frequency at 2.45 GHz and at 4.6 GHz, respectively. T...

Summary:Abstract A new method of power feedback control for the lower hybrid wave (LHW) systems on the experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST) is presented. Different methods are applied to control the power of two LHW systems with different frequency at 2.45 GHz and at 4.6 GHz, respectively. The old method is applied to control the 4.6 GHz LHW power through the exciter of klystrons, and the new one is used to control the 2.45 GHz LHW power through the high voltage power supply (HVPS) system. The new method has been applied in EAST and successfully assisted the development of relevant experiments such as loop voltage control, q profile control.
