Action status – New data • No new data sent • Action ? • Continue waiting • Stop waiting • Waiting: • JFT-2M TT 30.06.07 ? • CHS TT 30.06.07 ? • NSTX SK 30.06.07 ? • MAST MV 30.06.07 ?
Action status – recommended scaling • New version of the database released on 30.6.2006 • IGDBTH4v6 • Contains new data selection parameters, were agreed • Data selection • Different selection criteria: seldb1, 2, IAEA02, ..., EFPW05_red • Some errors in AUG selection • 12 removed (Too early) • 10 added • One error in CMOD data • Density in one discharge • A new version of the DB: IGDBTH4v6b • Comments on fits • F.Ryter agreed
Recommended scaling • Large data set: • Reduced data set: • With changes in selected set: • n: 0.74 => 0.75; B: 074 => 0.73; R: 1.06 => 1.07 • RMS: 29.5% => 29.4; • ITER: Pth(n=1.0): 92 => 93 MW; ITER: Pth(n=0.5) = 31 [28-33] MW Pth(n=1.0) = 42 [38-47] MW ITER: Pth(n=0.5) = 55 [49-61] MW Pth(n=1.0) = 92 [79-107] MW
Action status - analysis • Hysteresis • Variation of ne and Bt dependence with tokamak size • Scaling • Refine scaling • Access to 'good' confinement regime • Minimum threshold power for type I ELMs • Minimum threshold power for good confinement regime • Density at the minimum threshold power • Influence of power fraction to electrons • 0D modelling of discharge evolution
Action status – Issue Card • Enough additional power during pulse evolution • Isotope identity pulses • List of parameters / actions to reduce the threshold power during ITER pulse evolution • What should we do for these ICs ?
