	One challenge in the development of a relativistic electron cooler is the powering of components, e.g. HV-solenoids, which sit on different potentials within a high voltage vessel and need a floating power supply. Within a design study, BINP SB RAS Novosibirsk has proposed two possibilities to build a power supply in a modular way. The first proposal is to use two cascade transformers per module. One cascade transformer powers 22 small HV-solenoids; the second one should generate the acceleration/deceleration voltage. The cascade transformers are fed by a turbo generator, which is powered by a gas under high pressure which is generated outside of the vessel. The second possibility is to use two big HV-solenoids per module. In this proposal, the HV-solenoids are powered directly by a turbo generator. For both concepts, a suitable turbo generator is essential. A potential candidate for the turbo generator could be the Green Energy Turbine (GET) from the company DEPRAG, which works with dry air and delivers a power of 5 kW. At the Helmholtz-Institut Mainz two GETS are tested. After an introduction, we present our experience with the GET and give an overview of the further road map.

The planned advances in electron cooling technology aimed at improving the operation of future hadron storage rings include an increase in electron beam current and acceleration voltage. A test set-up has been built at Helmholtz-Insitut Mainz (HIM) to optimize the recuperation efficiency of such high-current beams in energy recovery operation, requiring a thorough understanding of their interaction with external electric and magnetic fields, such as those found in a Wien velocity filter. Beam diagnostics are carried out using a BPM and current-sensing scraper electrodes.
