An algorithm for detection and automatic calculation of disruption main quantities has been proposed and tested on the discharges of recent campaigns in both JET and ASDEX Upgrade. The purpose of this paper is to describe a tool to support the construction of a reliable database, which is theoretically applicable to a wide variety of tokamaks and can support the operators in a very time consuming activity, reducing significantly the possibility of human errors. The algorithm performs its calculations on the basis of common and well defined criteria discussed with the Plasma and Control Operation Groups of the considered devices.

Abstract

An algorithm for detection and automatic calculation of disruption main quantities has been proposed and tested on the discharges of recent campaigns in both JET and ASDEX Upgrade. The purpose of this paper is to describe a tool to support the construction of a reliable database, which is theoretically applicable to a wide variety of tokamaks and can support the operators in a very time consuming activity, reducing significantly the possibility of human errors. The algorithm performs its calculations on the basis of common and well defined criteria discussed with the Plasma and Control Operation Groups of the considered devices. Moreover, being the algorithm fully parameterized, it can be easily customized to other tokamaks and/or used for statistical purposes, according to criteria adopted in the framework of each study.
