Summary
Machine-generated summaryThis call for tenders represents the first step towards developing a high voltage power supply (HVPS) for gyrotron microwave sources used in nuclear fusion plants, notably tokamaks and stellarators. The buyer seeks to develop an HVPS offering improved performance, flexibility and operational versatility compared with existing systems. In particular, the proposed HVPS must be capable of operating continuously at its rated power, while supporting pulsed operation reaching up to three times the rated power. The contract covers the acquisition of a power module together with an associated control system intended for the implementation of this high voltage power supply.
