  Two modern 3rd generation light sources, the well-developed 1.5-GeV Taiwan Light Source (TLS) and the new constructed 3-GeV Taiwan Photon Source (TPS), are now in routine operation. Both storage rings are powered by the superconducting RF (cavity) modules, one CESR-type SRF module for the TLS since 2005 and two KEKB-type SRF modules for the TPS since 2014. Thanks to continuous efforts, the operational reliability of SRF modules at NSRRC is now compatible or better in comparison with the best operation record of room temperature cavities ever achieved at TLS (1992-2004). How to improve the long term availability but hold the achieved reliability of SRF modules such as to maximize the available annual user beam time, especially, under requirements on high RF power operation, become a new operational challenge, especially for the SRF modules at TPS which is now routinely operated with a forward RF power around 150-kW individually and expected to push to 300-kW in the coming future. Here we report our strategy and achievement to minimize long term interrupt of SRF operation owing to regular full-thermal cycling and annual maintenance of cryogenic plant.

  The Taiwan Light Source (TLS) is a third generation of synchrotron light source, and it has been operated since 1993. The TLS control system is a proprietary design. It was performed minor upgrade several times to avoid obsolete of some system components and keep up-to-date during last two decades. The control system of BTS (Booster-to-Storage ring) transport line includes control interfaces of power supplies, screen monitors, vacuum and temperature. The cPCI (CompactPCI) based EPICS IOC (Input Output Controller) has been adopted for renewing TLS BTS control system to replace the existed VME based ILC (Intelligent Local Controller) to be as an easy-to-maintain control environment. Moreover, each TLS control console supports not only the existing control software interfaces, but also the newly developed EPICS graphical user interfaces. Upgraded TLS BTS control system had been successfully commissioning in February 2017. Compare new system with old system, new system provides more functionality, fast response, and highly reliability. The efforts are summarized at this paper.
