摘要： The effect of passive plates on vertical displacement control in EAST tokamak is investigated by open loop experiments and numerical simulations based on a rigid displacement model. The experiments and simulations indicate that the vertical instability growth rate is reduced by a factor of about 2 in the presence of the passive plates, where the adjacent segments are not connected to each other. The simulations also show that the vertical instability growth rate is reduced by a factor of about 10 if all adjacent segments on each passive plate loop are connected to each other. The operational window is greatly enlarged with the passive plates.
