  One of the main challenges concerning next generation tokamaks (such as DEMO)
will be the development of a heat and power exhaust system able to withstand
the large loads expected in the divertor region. A dedicated Divertor Tokamak
Test (DTT) facility has been proposed in the EUROfusion Roadmap, with the aim
of testing unconventional solutions, such as advanced magnetic configurations
and liquid metal divertors. Magnetic control of alternative plasma
configurations, such as the X-Divertor, will play a key role in the solution of
the heat exhaust and yet can be a challenging point, due to increased
sensitivity introduced by secondary x-points. To overcome the complications
introduced by secondary x-points in advanced plasma shapes, magnetic control in
DTT is achieved by resolving to the eXtreme Shape Controller, in order to
control both the plasma shape and the secondary x-point position.
