 The kick-off meeting for the pilot IPT on ITER Power Supply. The ITER Council had agreed in its last meeting in November to proceed with three pilot IPTs for the vacuum vessel, the blanket and the power supplies, experts from the ITER Organization and the Domestic Agencies responsible for the power supply to ITER met last week for a first kick-off IPT meeting. In this first meeting the ground was paved for the future cooperation by identifying six key tasks that will have to be addressed soon in order to meet both schedule and scope. One of the key tasks discussed was the standardization of components for the AC/DC power distribution. "In order to meet the projected target date for signing the Procurement Arrangement for this package in June 2009, we have to optimize the design and to standardize the components", said Ivone Benfatto. "By doing so we will also reduce the cost." The design of the AC/DC converter basic units is another task which was discussed in detail at the meeting and will be carried out by the IPT to optimize cost and performances of the power converters. << return to Newsline #62 |
