We analyze the effects of the passing energetic particles on the resistiveballooning modes (RBM) and the energetic particle driven modes in JT-60SAplasma, which leads to the prediction of the stability in N-NBI heated plasma.The analysis is performed using the code FAR3d that solves the reduced MHDequations describing the linear evolution of the poloidal flux and the toroidalcomponent of the vorticity in a full 3D system, coupled with equations ofdensity and parallel velocity moments for the energetic particle (EP) speciesassuming an averaged Maxwellian EP distribution fitted to the slowing downdistribution, including the effect of the acoustic modes. The simulations showthe possible destabilization of a 3/2-4/2 TAE with a frequency (f) of 115 kHz,a 6/4-7/4 TAE with f=98 kHz and a 6/4 or 7/4 BAE with f=57 kHz in the ITER-likeinductive scenario. If the energetic particle beta increases, Beta induced AEs(BAE), Toroidal AEs (TAE) and Elliptical AEs (EAE) are destabilized between theinner-middle plasma region, leading to the overlapping of AE of differenttoroidal families. If these instabilities coexist in the non-linear saturationphase the EP transport could be enhanced leading to a lower heating efficiency.For a hypothetical configuration based on the ITER-like inductive scenario butan center peaked EP profile, the EP beta threshold increases and several BAEsare destabilized in the inner plasma region, indicating an improved AEstability with respect to the off-axis peaked EP profile. In addition, theanalysis of a hypothetical JT-60SA scenario with a resonant q=1 in the innerplasma region shows the destabilization of fishbones-like instabilities by theoff-axis peaked EP profile. Also, the EPs have an stabilizing effect on theRBM, stronger as the population of EP with low energies (below 250 keV)increases at the plasma pedestal.
