PPPL develops framework for unifying tokamak ML control models
Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory announced that researchers at the lab, in collaboration with Princeton University, have developed a general algorithm for prediction and control in tokamak systems and have tested it at DIII-D, as presented in a recent Nuclear Fusion paper.
According to the paper, most machine learning (ML)–based tools for use in fusion machines have been implemented as stand-alone demonstrations, aiming to predict the plasma profile, suppress a form of instability, for example. PPPL’s project provides a framework that aims to accommodate these disparate models into an integrated system, which the team calls PACMAN (Prediction and Control Using Machine Learning).
