	A power overhead of more than 25% is usually required in RF field control of klystron drived superconducting cavity, since it is much easier to implement feild control in a linear region of klystron where it is far below saturation. It however results in a reduced efficiency and more power consumption. Within ESS project it places very high demands on energy efficiency, which leads to stringent requirements on power overhead required in RF field control. Investigation on power overhead reduction in RF field control has been carried out at ESS and related simulation has been done. In this paper we will look at how close we can implement field control to the klystron saturation and discuss if it is possible to make RF field control the RF field with 10% overhead.

A power overhead of more than 25% is usually required in RF field control of klystron drived superconducting cavity, since it is much easier to implement feild control in a linear region of klystron where it is far below saturation. It however results in a reduced efficiency and more power consumption. Within ESS project it places very high demands on energy efficiency, which leads to stringent requirements on power overhead required in RF field control. Investigation on power overhead reduction in RF field control has been carried out at ESS and related simulation has been done. In this paper we will look at how close we can implement field control to the klystron saturation and discuss if it is possible to make RF field control the RF field with 10% overhead.
