Abstract

In the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, plasma is magnetically confined with Superconductive Magnets (SMs) that must be maintained at cryogenic temperature by a Superconducting Magnet Cryogenic Cooling Circuit (SMCCC). To guarantee cooling, Loss-Of-Flow Accidents (LOFAs) in the SMCCC are to be avoided. In this work, an approach to identify LOFA precursors (i.e., those component failures leading to a LOFA) is presented. The approach is based on a Spectral Clustering (SC) method using the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) algorithm and is applied to the SMCCC of a single module of the ITER Central Solenoid (CS).
