Modelling and control are both detailed, allowing non-expert readers to understand the control problem. Starting from the magneto-hydro-dynamic equations, all the steps needed for the derivation of plasma state-space models are enumerated with frequent recall of the basic concepts of electromagnetics. The control problem is then described, beginning with the control of current and position--vertical and radial--control and progressing to the more challenging shape control. The solutions proposed vary from simple PIDs to more sophisticated MIMO controllers.\u003cbr\u003eThe second edition of \u003ci\u003eMagnetic Control of Tokamak Plasmas \u003c\/i\u003econtains numerous updates and a substantial amount of completely new material covering areas such as: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emodelling and control of resistive wall modes--the most important non-axisimmetric mode;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe isoflux approach for shape control; \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea general approach for the control of limiter plasmas;\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe use of inner vessel coils for vertical stabilization; and\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esignificantly enhanced treatment of plasma-shape control at JET, including experimental results and introducing a method implemented for operation in the presence of current saturations.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhenever possible, coverage of the various topics is rounded out with experimental results obtained on currently existing tokamaks. The book also includes a presentation of the typical actuators and sensors used for control purposes in tokamaks. Some mathematical details are given in the appendices for the interested reader.\u003cbr\u003eThe ideas formulated in this monograph will be of great practical help to control engineers, academic researchers and graduate students working directly with problems related to the control of nuclear fusion.
