About

Diamond Light Source Ltd awarded a contract to Energy Technology S.R.L.

(OCEM) for the supply of power converters for the Booster BF and quadrupole magnets as part of the Diamond-II upgrade.

The contract, valued at AUD 335,782.94, covers one power converter for the BF magnets (36 magnets in series) and five power converters for the quadrupole magnets (4 magnets per converter in series).

The specified solution involves two-quadrant H-bridges fed from a DC bus/capacitor, with voltage controlled by a boost regulator fed from an AC/DC SMPS, allowing energy circulation between the DC bus capacitor bank and magnets.

The contractor may propose alternative arrangements, and three variants of the Booster Quadrupole power converters are required, with two variants having reduced current control ranges for improved repeatability.
