Abstract

Advanced tokamak (AT) research in DIII-D was carried out to provide a scientific basis for steady-state high performance operation in plasma devices. The regimes required high toroidal beta to maximize fusion output and high poloidal beta to maximize the self-driven bootstrap current. Resistive wall mode stabilization by plasma rotation and active feedback with non-axisymmetric coils allowed routine operation above the no-wall beta limit. Close coupling approach resulted in fully non-inductively driven plasmas, which was sustained up to 1 s, and approximately equal to one current relaxation time.
