Multi-objective Bayesian Optimization for Design of Pareto-optimal Current Drive Profiles in STEP
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PLASMA SCIENCE(2024)
摘要
The safety factor profile is a key property in determining the stability of tokamak plasmas. To design the safety factor profile in the United Kingdom's proposed Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP), we apply multi-objective Bayesian optimization (MOBO) to design electron-cyclotron heating profiles. Bayesian optimization (BO) is an iterative machine learning technique that uses an uncertainty-aware predictive model to choose the next designs to evaluate based on the data gathered during optimization. By taking a multi-objective approach, the optimizer generates sets of solutions that represent optimal tradeoffs between objectives, enabling decision makers to understand the compromises made in each design. The solutions from our method score higher than those generated in previous work by a genetic algorithm (GA); however, the key result is that our method returns a purposefully diverse range of optimal solutions, providing more information to tokamak designers without incurring additional computational cost.
