Abstract
Esta dissertação explora o integrador para o diagnostico magnético do ITER, a cargo da Fusion For Energy (F4E) e a ser desenvolvido pelo Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear (IPFN) e o Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE). Baseado no trabalho conduzido no grupo de Control, Data Access and Communication (CODAC) na F4E no âmbito de um estágio, esta dissertação foca-se em dois aspectos fundamentais do diagnostico: a arquitectura da placa do integrador; e a distribuição dos dados adquiridos através da rede de tempo-real do ITER – Synchronous Databus Network (SDN). Os principais desafios técnicos e de projecto são apresentados, bem como as principais fases de desenvolvimento e a analise de dados que valida as escolhas de projecto para as placas. This thesis reviews the magnetics integrator for the ITER magnetic diagnostics, to be delivered by Fusion for Energy (F4E) and being delivered by Instituto de Plasmas e Fusão Nuclear (IPFN) and the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE). Based on the work conducted at the Control, Data Access and Communication (CODAC) group at F4E in the scope of a traineeship, this thesis focuses on two key aspects of the diagnostic: the integrator board architecture; and the real-time distribution of the acquired data using the ITER Synchronous Data bus Network (SDN). The main technical and design challenges and development phases are presented, as well as the data analysis that validates the design choices for the integrator board.
