ELECTRIFYING MONTHS AT CHINESE DOMESTIC AGENCY AND ITER’S ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION

ELECTRIFYING MONTHS AT CHINESE DOMESTIC AGENCY AND ITER’S ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION By Ling Dong, ITER China & Ivone Benfatto, ITER Organization Finalizing the signature of a Procurement Arrangement（PA）and, at the same time, organizing Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR) for two major systems is a very demanding task that the Chinese Domestic Agency (CN-DA) and ITER’s Electrical Engineering Division performed between April and July 2012. Assembly of documentation for the materials of the PA for the Pulsed Power Electrical Network (PPEN) worth 21.9 kIUA, was finalized between January and June 2012 and signed at the last ITER Council in Washington, D.C. During the same period, the Preliminary Design Reviews for two other major power supply PAs had to be organized; these took place last week in Beijing for both the Poloidal Field AC/DC Power Converters (worth 61.1 kIUA) and for the Reactive Power Compensators and Harmonic Filtering System (worth 16.5 kIUA). Together these three PAs exceed 35% of the CN-DA’s total in-kind contribution to ITER. Participants to the meetings
