摘要：

In recent years, EAST has achieved a 60-s scale steady-state plasma operation (SSO), which is electron dominant heated by the electron cyclotron wave and low hybrid wave. Substantial progresses have been made in the development of long-pulse operation, such as active control of radiative divertor, edge localized mode (ELM) suppression, and He plasma experiment. To further develop the steady-state operation scenario and study the related critical physical issues, the upgrade of EAST has been completed in 2020. The auxiliary heating systems were rearranged and upgraded with a total heating power capability of 33 MW. The 2.45-GHz lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) launcher has been updated from full active multijunction (FAM) to passive active multijunction (PAM) to avoid damage caused by plasma-material interaction. The injection power capability of electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) system is upgraded to 1.4 MW. The upgraded ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) antenna injects low parallel wavenumber (k(||)) spectra with good single pass absorption. The neutral beam injection (NBI) system is moved from F-port to D-port and is reoriented from counterclockwise to clockwise injection. The armor material of lower divertor has been upgraded from graphite to tungsten improving the steady-state heat handling capability from 2 to 10 MW/m(2). Based on the upgraded pumping system and improved conductance, the effective pumping speed for D2 of the EAST lower divertor increased twice. With all these upgrades, 100-s scale steady-state operation (T-e0 > 10 keV) and 1056-s high-performance operation with 1.73-GJ injection energy were achieved in 2021 campaigns. The experience in high-performance long-pulse operation obtained on EAST will lay a foundation for the ITER and Chinese Fusion Engineering Testing Reactor(CFETR) operation.
