Towards a Portuguese participation in the ESS project, 29 th Jan. 2010, Lisbon Carlos Martins – IST / CIEEE17 1.Power Supplies and Klystron Modulators are key technologies in accelerators Klystron modulators are probably the second most challenging sub-systems in high duty-cycle Linacs, just after accelerating structures… – Maurizio Vretenar, CERN Linac4 Project Leader; Very few European and Worldwide companies are able to develop and produce such specific equipment (particularly for klystron modulators) 2.Of the Shelf versus customized solutions should be carefully evaluated At least 2 solid companies (preferably 3) shall be able to provide the same or equivalent Of the shelf product (double source), to avoid risks of bankruptcy, monopoles in the long term future; The project team shall have a word to say on the selection of the topology (technology); Do not delegate entirely this responsibility to companies; Careful about functional specifications (technical specifications would be preferable…): - Too much freedom given to companies on turn-key solutions may put the whole project dependent on a single company in terms of delays, performance, long term reliability and maintainability; 3.Close follow-up of companies technical activities is essential Single contracts (not a long term based commercial exchange); Companies main objective: Profit (which is perfectly fair and honourable); Project main objectives: Systems ready on time according to specifications; Reliable and maintainable in long term (20 years); Be sure to get all documentation, knowledge and relevant information about the equipment; Before placing a contract:- cross-check all parameters and technical details with the other partners of the project; Be sure the specifications are clear and cover all pertinent technical details. Companies will challenge you on this capability…
