 Almost 40 participants from Korea and China, including review panel experts, participated in the Preliminary Engineering Design Review for ITER's AC/DC magnet power converters. The Procurement Arrangement for AC/DC Converters was signed by the Korean Domestic Agency on 14 March 2011. It includes the design, fabrication, delivery, assembly, and installation of the convertors; site acceptance testing and integration of the power converter units for the toroidal field coils, the central solenoid, vertical stabilization circuit 1, and correction coils; a master control system; and a dummy load for system testing and maintenance. Since the signature, the Korean Domestic Agency has appointed its suppliers: an industry consortium comprising Dawonsys and Hyosung.  This prototype Converter Unit, fabricated by DAWONSYS in June 2011, is ready to undergo testing. The review assessed the proposed solution as generally meeting the design input requirements and as meeting the project requirements. It identified some issues requiring further work, but no showstoppers were found. The meeting was a further example of very successful collaboration between the ITER Organization, the Korean Domestic Agency and industry. << return to Newsline #222 |
