Exploration of RMP ELM control on ITER similar shape (ISS) in KSTAR

Recent control advances at KSTAR enabled us not only to establish but also to sustain the ITER-similar shape (ISS) in a stationary manner, matching the ITER-like dimensionless shape parameters in lower single null (LSN) configuration with vastly contrasting upper/lower triangularities. The kinetic parameters of the ISS are different from the typical KSTAR configurations seen in ELM-RMP suppression experiments. It is experimentally demonstrated the ISS-compatible RMP control in KSTAR for the first time, using the n=2, +90 degrees phasing RMP.
