1PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan Francesca Poli, Gary Taylor for the Integrated Scenarios science group ECH/EBWH Research Plans and progress in the modeling of non-inductive ramp-up PAC37 Princeton, NJ January 26, 2016

2PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan Strategy: combine integrated modeling and experiments to address rampup challenges Heat startup plasma with EC to maximize H/CD efficiency Combine RF and NBI for current profile optimization Optimize NBI source combination for CD and stability. Maintain control over position, current profile, MHD stability. startup

3PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan nd NB line can ramp current from HHFW- heated plasma and sustain 900kA t<0.5  ~400kA n e,lin = 0.85 n GW  ~900kA non-inductive, ~60% bootstrap At the previous PAC meeting Focus was on ramp-up and sustainment with NBI Focus today is on start-up and early ramp-up [F. Poli et al, Nucl. Fusion 55 (2015) ]

4PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan Select NSTX discharges, compare transport models on: –RF and NB at low, constant current –NB in the ramp-up and at high current flattop CAVEAT: Startup/rampup not the same as relaxed, flattop plasma. Transport assumptions will be updated using new NSTX-U data –pedestal structure, confinement, rotation, turbulence... All simulations run with free-boundary TRANSP –ISOLVER for equilibrium evolution and coil currents –TORIC (full wave) for HHFW, –NUBEAM (Monte Carlo) for NBI, –GENRAY (ray-tracing) for ECH –Multi Mode Model for thermal transport [Lehigh univ.] –Prescribe I P waveform and maximize non-inductive current drive Assumptions in the simulations

5PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan Identify challenges and needs towards non-inductive operation Optimizing non-inductive current at startup with NBI. Optimizing non-inductive current at startup with HHFW. Prepare a target plasma with EC Heating. Why is ECH a game changer?

6PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan NBI losses too large in low-density, low-current plasma target ~50% of NBI power lost due to low density shine-thru Results in low current drive Experiments: optimize density: –minimize shine-thru and losses –maximize non-inductive current Modeling: current and q profile control [W. Wehner, Lehigh univ., D. Boyer, PPPL] Need: optimization of the first 200ms of discharge non-inductive L-H transition 1A 1B 1C 2C

7PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan HHFW can provide the needed current, but efficiency drops after L-H transition Modeling: validation of wave absorption against experiments Experiments: Wave coupling and FWCD at low density, low current [see presentation by Gerhardt] time (s) Issue: after L-H transition - HHFW heating less efficiency -current drive efficiency drops dominant electron heating in the early ramp-up L-H transition Issue: expect peaked pressure and current profiles. MHD stability to be assessed

8PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan Combine HHFW and NBI to drive current when HHFW becomes less efficient Issue:large absorption to fast ions => reduces efficiency Path: switch from HHFW to NBI and ramp-up to full current delay NBI to minimize losses and maximize current drive Experiments (future):HHFW+NBI at low current and density Modeling:validation of fast ion absorption Need: optimization of the first 100ms of discharge L-H transition

9PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan TRANSP time-dependent simulations with 1 MW of 28 GHz O- mode ECH predict a rapid increase in first-pass absorption from 5% to 75% as T e (0) increases from 10 eV to 1 keV in ~10 ms Issue: ECH can be used for ~150 ms before the plasma n e > n cutoff Simulations predict that 28 GHz ECH is very effective at heating NSTX-U start-up plasmas Experiments:get new density information from CHI and low-I P RF target plasmas Modeling:assess EC heating against plasma parameter variations

10PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan ECH generates a high T e start-up plasma that can significantly improve HHFW current drive No ECHWith ECH Even with unfavorable CD phasing (k // =3 m -1 ) Strong synergy observed in simulations of NI plasma start-up that combine EC and HHFW heating No FWCD w/o ECH almost 400kA with 1MW of ECH Modeling: assess EC+HHFW heating against plasma parameter variations and HHFW phasing [ backup slide ] HHFW

11PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan GHz EBW start-up on NSTX-U will test power scaling of MAST and QUEST results Grooved reflecting polarizer machined into center column in MAST => 100% O-X-B conversion MAST achieved I p ~75 kA with ~75 kW power. EBW start-up on NSTX-U at megawatt level will test viability of technique at much higher RF power EBW current drive might scale much weaker than linearly with RF power => Pursuing modeling of EBW at startup and flattop using kinetic models future collaboration with QUEST on EBW startup modeling SAMI diagnostic on loan from University of York [ see backup slide ]

12PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan Summary and future work All sources needed for non-inductive current ramp-up –EC: game changer => reduces by 4 HHFW power needed to drive 300kA on CHI-like target. – HHFW: drives current where NBI losses are larger Close connection between integrated modeling and experiments is critical for development of this phase Longer term: EBW start-up may allow more time to control plasma position and discharge evolution than CHI start-up –In progress: EC/EBW startup simulations for direct transition to NBI phase [N. Lopez, Princeton University]

14PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan HHFW can provide the needed current, but good heating is critical Need 4 MW for ∼ 350kA current (to be verified in exp.) FWCD drops after L-H: higher n e, lower electron absorption. Current profiles peaked => challenge for control and MHD. time (s)

15PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan ECH improves HHFW efficiency when combined with EC, lowest phasing most favorable half power needed to drive 400kA compared to w/o EC

16PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan High k // => lower fast ions absorption Low k // => higher CD efficiency Synergy: with 1 MW of EC heating, only 1 MW of absorbed HHFW power is predicted to drive 300 kA Dynamic phasing of HHFW antenna needed to maximize FWCD. Experiments:assess phase changing (response time) Modeling:optimize EC->HHFW->NBI transition based on experiments

17PAC37, non-inductive ramp-up, Francesca Poli, Jan Design and implement 28 GHz EC/EBW heating system to support NI operation* Plan to use ~2 MW Gyrotron being developed by Tsukuba Univ.** -Fixed horn antenna & low-loss HE11 corrugated waveguide -Initially use 28 GHz system to heat CHI start-up plasmas -Later install grooved tile on center column to allow EBW plasma start-up -EBW start-up technique will be same as used successfully on MAST * G. Taylor et al., EPJ Web Conf. 87 (2015) ** T. Kariya et al., Fusion Science and Technology 68 (2015) 147
