After installation of ferritic steel tiles (FSTs) which reduced fast ion losses due to toroidal field ripple, the performance of long-pulse ELMy H-mode plasmas was improved in terms of sustained duration time for both high normalized beta ($$beta_N$$) and high thermal confinement enhancement factor ($$H_{98}$$). High $$beta_N$$$$>$$2.3 together with $$H_{98}$$$$sim$$1 was sustained for 23.1s ($$sim$$12$$tau_{rm R}$$) $$q_{rm 95} sim 3.3$$, which also provide high $$beta_{rm N}H_{rm H98(y,2)} ge 2.2$$, which is higher than ITER reference scenario. These long-pulse plasmas are possible candidates for ITER hybrid operation scenario.
