TUMPA06 | RF Heat Load Compensation for the European XFEL | 348 |
|
||
The European XFEL is a 3.4km long X-ray Free Electron Laser. The accelerating structure consists of 96 cryo modules running at 1.3 GHz with 10 Hz repetition rate. The injector adds two modules running at 1.3 and 3.9 GHz respectively. The cryo modules are operated at 2 Kelvin. Cold compressors (CCs) pump down the liquid Helium to 30 mbar which corresponds to 2 Kelvin. Stable conditions in the cryogenic system are mandatory for successful accelerator operations. Pressure fluctuations at 2 K may cause detuning of cavities and could result in unstable CC operations. The RF losses in the cavities may be compensated by reducing the heater power in the liquid Helium baths of the nine cryogenic strings. This requires a stable readout of the current RF settings. The detailed signals are read out from several severs in the accelerator control system and then computed in the cryogenic control system for heater compensation. This paper will describe the commissioning of the cryogenic control system, the communication between the control systems involved and first results of machine operations with the heat loss compensation in place. | ||

Funding: SUPPORTED BY CHINESE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES VISITING PROFESSORSHIP FOR SENIOR INTERNATIONAL SCIENTISTS. GRANT No. 2017VEB0006 The cryogenic system of Experiment Advance Superconductor Tokomak (EAST) is a large capacity system at both 4.5 and 80K levels at huge superconducting magnet system together with 80k thermal shields, complex of cryogenic pumps and small cryogenic users. The cryogenic system and their control are highly complex due to the large number of correlated variables on wide operation ranges. Due to the complexity of the system, dynamic simulations represent the only way to provide adequate data during transients and to validate complete cooldown scenarios in such complex interconnected systems. This paper presents the design of EAST cryogenic process and control simulator. The cryogenic process model is developed by the EcosimPro and CRYOLIB. The control system model is developed based on EPICS. The real-time communication between cryogenic process and control system is realized by OPC protocol. This simulator can be used for different purpose such as operator training, test of the new control strategies and the optimization of cryogenic system. |
