Description

Purpose/Scope:

ITER CODAC is in the process of commissioning and integration of plant control systems delivered by the ITER partners under Domestic Agencies (DA) governance. There is a high demand from DAs, off-site suppliers, institutes, and laboratories to provide effective means of remote participation in plant commissioning and operation. This goes in line with the IO's overarching goal of better involvement of DAs in the IO processes.

In response to this, ITER CODAC has designed and built networks and infrastructure to support the remote participation of ITER partners in commissioning and operation. The remote participation infrastructure currently extends to two DAs and four fusion institutes in six out of seven ITER parties. This infrastructure and the associated daily activities generate a support workload that needs to be handled by an IPA.

Remote Participation, being part of CODAC Operational Applications, relies on a quickly evolving stack of hardware and software technologies. Regular follow-up is needed to test the new technologies and adapt control system interfaces to them. The Operational Applications themselves are a product in active development and will need contributions to provide an even set of features to local and remote users.

List of activities:

The following activities are foreseen for the Associate:

• Provides assistance with the configuration of the Remote Participation functionality in the Main Control Room, Main Server Room, and at the test stands, ensuring proper setup and performance.
• Communicates daily with the ITER CODAC as well as the ITER IT infrastructure and networking teams to ensure alignment and timely issue resolution.
• Monitors the Remote Participation infrastructure effectively, including services, both local and global network connectivity.
• Performs proactive maintenance of Remote Participation software and hardware, and updates operational procedures and technical documentation regularly.
• Oversees and tests new technologies relevant to Remote Participation to ensure compatibility and performance.
• Supports ongoing and future collaboration activities between IO with DAs and institutes in the field of Remote Participation.
• Provides assistance and training to remote teams at the ITER parties in the area of Remote Participation, especially staff located at the permanently deployed ITER Remote Participation Centers.
• Contributes to testing and integration activities of CODAC Operational Applications of relevance or interfacing with Remote Participation.
