Description
Summary:A deep neural network is developed and trained on magnetic measurements (input) and EFIT poloidal magnetic flux (output) on the EAST tokamak. In optimizing the network architecture, we use automatic optimization to search for the best hyperparameters, which helps in better model generalization. We compare the inner magnetic surfaces and last-closed-flux surfaces with those from EFIT. We also calculated the normalized internal inductance, which is completely determined by the poloidal magnetic flux and can further reflect the accuracy of the prediction. The time evolution of the internal inductance in full discharge is compared with that provided by EFIT. All of the comparisons show good agreement, demonstrating the accuracy of the machine learning model, which has high spatial resolution compared with the off-line EFIT while still meeting the time constraint of real-time control.
