Abstract
Abstract One of the main challenges in developing effective control strategies for the magnetic control system in tokamaks has been the difficulty in obtaining the last closed-flux surface (LCFS) evolution results from control commands. We have developed a data-driven model that combines a predictive model and a surrogate model for physics simulation programs. This model is capable of predicting the LCFS without relying on physical simulation codes. Addressing the data characteristics of LCFS, we have proposed a specialized discretization approach to achieve dimensionality reduction. Furthermore, we have excluding the control references, the model can be seamlessly integrated into the control system, providing real-time LCFS prediction. Following comprehensive testing and multifaceted evaluation, our model has demonstrated highly satisfactory results of 95% or above, meeting practical requirements.
