Modeling and robust decentralized control system design for plasma current and position in Damavand tokamak

This paper presents a linear dynamic model for the current and position of plasma in Damavand tokamak (DT) based on the RZIP methodology. Experimental data shots of DT are employed to validate the model and to show its accuracy. Since there are uncertainties in the model parameters, a robust decentralized control system is designed by considering the interaction between the input-output channels. Robust proportional and proportional-integral controllers are designed to obtain robust closed-loop stability and performance based on the Kharitonov theorem. The simulation results of the closed-loop system in two scenarios are presented to show the effectiveness of the introduced control system.
