Description

A method for generating a control process for the Elmo Bumpy Torus electron cyclotron resonance heating system was developed. The method developed was a general-to-specific method inspired by methods of structured software development. It had a dual structure which put the physical system analysis and the process analysis on equal footings. The method resulted in a two branch, multilayered product, various parts of which led directly to the several final products required for plasma heating control
