PARALLEL SESSION C
C1 Electrical, power electronics, electromechanical and RF systems
Thu 3rd Oct 11h10 - 13h00
Hall 27 - Ressel
Big Science organisations have a need for both standard and highly specialized electrical, electronics, and electromechanical installations and systems. This includes power supplies, transformers, installations, assembly and wiring work. Some organisations have an additional need for particular heating or particle acceleration systems based on RF (radiofrequency) or microwave generators with associated power supplies. In others radiofrequency amplifiers and associated power supplies are used to provide energy to particle beams, which are accelerated in normal conducting or superconducting resonators.

CERN
CERN has one of the largest private electrical networks in Europe, operating from both Switzerland and France. This complex and diverse network ranges from 400 kV to 400/230 V and is designed to ensure a reliable and stable energy supply for CERN’s extensive accelerator complex and experimental facilities. CERN is initiating several procurement processes for both services and electrical equipment supplies to secure the continuous operation, maintenance, and upgrade of the network, thereby meeting the growing demands of CERN’s research activities.
CERN is operating over its current accelerator complex approximately 5000 normal-conducting magnets. For the consolidation and upgrade of this complex, CERN intends to place several contracts for the supply of different types of normal-conducting electromagnets, yokes and coils. In addition, CERN plans to start construction of the FCC-ee, a 90.7 km long electron-positron collider, in the 2030s. This new collider will require around 25,000 normal-conducting magnets. The overall normal-conducting magnet requirements are shown in this presentation. The overall cumulated value in the period 2025-2028 is estimated to be around 20 MCHF.
F4E is responsible of the procurement of several components for both the Neutral Beam and the Electron Cyclotron heating systems of ITER. The status of the on-going tenders and the next opportunities will be presented together with some general technical information. The presentation includes besides electrical and electromechanical systems also high precision large mechanical components.

Eu XFEL
European XFEL is an international non-profit company located in the Hamburg area in Germany. It operates a 3.4 km-long X-ray laser, which produces X-rays of unique quality for studies in physics, chemistry, the life sciences, materials research and other disciplines. Electronics for scientific control, power and data acquisition provide the crucial underlying infrastructure and makes an important aspect for the overall success. Related to facility improvements, extensions and strategic developments new electronics and related services will be required over the coming years and will offer business opportunities.
