Abstract
- A real-time modulation control system was developed for studying the effectiveness of modulated Electron Cyclotron Current Drive (ECCD) on the stabilization of Neoclassical Tearing Modes (NTMs). The phase and duty cycle tracking was enabled with high accuracy even if the NTM frequency varied during ECCD. A characteristic of an anode voltage modulation for modulating the gyrotron oscillation that caused the time variation of the phase and duty cycle was also taking into account. It was shown that the phase and duty cycle could be kept the target values within 50 ms even if the frequency varied by 1 kHz/s or higher at a frequency of around 5 kHz. Then, NTM stabilization experiments with modulated ECCD for m/n = 2/1 NTM was successfully performed in JT-60U. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
