“…The basic design approach of the SPIDER Power Supply (PS) system derives from one developed for MITICA and ITER HNB [31]. The SPIDER PS includes the Ion Source and Extraction Power Supply (ISEPS), a heterogeneous system of power supplies [32], and the Acceleration Grid Power Supply (AGPS).…”

The ITER Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF), called PRIMA (Padova Research on ITER Megavolt Accelerator), is hosted in Padova, Italy and includes two experiments: MITICA, the full-scale prototype of the ITER heating neutral beam injector, and SPIDER, the full-size radio frequency negative-ions source. The NBTF realization and the exploitation of SPIDER and MITICA have been recognized as necessary to make the future operation of the ITER heating neutral beam injectors efficient and reliable, fundamental to the achievement of thermonuclear-relevant plasma parameters in ITER. This paper reports on design and R&D carried out to construct PRIMA, SPIDER and MITICA, and highlights the huge progress made in just a few years, from the signature of the agreement for the NBTF realization in 2011, up to now-when the buildings and relevant infrastructures have been completed, SPIDER is entering the integrated commissioning phase and the procurements of several MITICA components are at a well advanced stage.

“…Then further studies were performed to bring two alternatives, the single gap (SINGAP) accelerator [5] and the negative ion source (RF driven source), to a level of design comparable to the reference design of the MAMUG accelerator and of the arc driven source [1]. As far as the power supply system is concerned, an alternative design concept was proposed [6] and verified with respect to both the Accelerator and ion source configurations. The electric scheme of the complete power supply system referred to the SINGAP accelerator and RF driven Source is shown in Fig.…”

In the framework of the European activities on the ITER neutral beam (NB) injector, the design of a 1 MHz, 1 MW power supply (PS) system for the radio frequency (RF) driven ion source, has been developed in cooperation between IPP and RFX laboratories. This paper describes the studies performed with particular emphasis on the system design, the definition of the best modularity level to be adopted and the integration of the RF PS in the overall power supply system of the NB injector. Dedicated analyses were addressed to the RF matching network optimization which led to an improved and simplified solution without both matching transformers and remotely controlled variable capacitors in the source.
