ALBA is a 3 GeV, 400 mA, 3rd generation Synchrotron Light Source that is in the construction phase in Cerdanyola, Spain. The RF System will have to provide 3.6 MV of accelerating voltage and restore up to 540 kW of power to the electron beam. For that six RF plants, working at 500 MHz, are foreseen. The RF plants will include several new developments: 1) DAMPY cavity: the normal conducting HOM damped cavity developed by BESSY and based in the EU design; six will be installed. 2) CaCo: A cavity combiner to add the power to two 80 kW IOTs to produce the 160 kW needed for each cavity. 3) WATRAX: A waveguide transition to coaxial, specially designed to feed the DAMPY cavities due to the geometrical and cooling constrains. 4) IQ LLRF: The low level RF will be based on the IQ modulation/demodulation technique, both analogue and digital approach are being pursued. This paper describes the Storage Ring RF System and reports about the status of these new developments.

A new approach of RF power combination has been developed for the ALBA Storage Ring RF system: a three-port high power Cavity Combiner (CaCo). A prototype has been successfully built and tested in Thales Electron Devices, Thonon, France. The final goal is to combine the power of two 80 kW IOTs at 500 MHz in order to provide a total output power of 160 kW. In this paper, a summary of the analytical and simulation analysis of the expected behaviour is given. In basis of that, the decided geometric constraints and the final design configuration chosen for the prototype production are explained. Low power test results and matching, and finally the high power test performances, are shown. As a conclusion, the RF system of the ALBA Storage Ring will incorporate the CaCo concept to obtain the needed power per cavity from the combination of two IOTs.
