Abstract :
Experimental advanced superconducting tokamak (EAST), the first tokomak with ITER-like fully superconductive poloidal and toroidal coils, successfully completed its engineering commission in March 2006; had its first plasma in September 2006 [B.N. Wan, et al., The first plasma of EAST, in: 21st IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, Chengdu, China, 16–21 October, 2007. [1]] and further generated diverted plasma in January 2007. The plasma control system was adapted from DIII-D plasma control system architecture and jointly developed by the DIII-D and EAST plasma control team. After briefly outlining the hardware and software architecture of the EAST plasma control system, this paper summarizes the plasma control results in the first plasma and first diverted plasma campaigns.
