The ITER project is in full construction with more and more support systems in commissioning and 24/7 operation. The EPICS based control system is about 15% complete towards first plasma considering energized instrumentation and control racks or integrated process variables.
In this talk we report on the current status of the ITER project with emphasize on the integration, commissioning and...
CHIMERA is being built in Sheffield UK by the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (UKAEA). It will be the only machine in the world able to test components under the unique combination of conditions encountered in large fusion devices. The SCADA control software will use EPICS and is being produced by Observatory Sciences under contract to Jacobs Clean Energy.
As ITER construction continues, the importance of high-level applications for integrated control and monitoring increases. ITER Operation Applications are being developed to address these needs. The Pulse Schedule Preparation System (PSPS) and Supervisory System (SUP) combine to provide coordinated, well-controlled and yet flexible solutions for configuration and operation of all plant...
