  • Abstract
    This paper deals with the state-space modelling of the Ultra-Low Iota Super Elongated Stellarator of the UPV/EHU, using a physical lumped parameter equivalent circuit approach. The model obtained is validated by means of experimental output data showing an excellent matching with the real system. In order to test the proposed model, a MPC scheme is been successfully implemented both in simulation and experimentally using a real-time control platform, providing also a benchmarking with traditionally used PID controllers.
