  Ageing of devices and components phasing-out, as well as the increasing maintenance costs, affect particle accelerators similarly to any industrial plant. A careful maintenance plan can cope with these problems in the medium-term, but then a complete update of the oldest parts is required. The most recent technologies available on the market together with a modular and open design approach are the basis of an upgrade program aimed at replacing the existing controllers of the Elettra storage ring magnet power supplies. The design considerations, the constraints and the first results are reported.

  A 3.5 Tesla 64 mm period superconducting wiggler (SCW) was constructed by the Russian Budker Institute of Novosibirsk (BINP) and installed in the Elettra storage ring as a photon source for the second X-ray diffraction beamline in November 2002, but never used due to the lack of the funding required for the beamline construction. About three years ago, the beamline construction was finally funded together with the refurbishment of the SCW. This upgrade, that was necessary in order to make the SCW operations compatible with the top up mode of the storage ring aimed in a drastic reduction of the liquid helium consumption by means of replacing the cryostat with a new version. At the same time the upgrade aimed as well to improve the reliability of the cryostat, to update the control system and to verify the magnetic field performance after a very long time of inactivity. In this paper we present and discuss the performances of the SCW following its refurbishment carried out by BINP team and its re-commissioning in the Elettra storage ring.
