Abstract :
Dynamical models of a tokamak can be used to augment on-line measurements, giving real-time estimates of the state of the plasma. We outline modeling of tokamak dynamics, and implementing the dynamics into a real-time filter. The real-time estimation of a current profile is constructed from simulated time-dependent measurements of PF coil currents and total plasma current
