Steady state network

US 澳门六合彩高手 completes deliveries

The Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), with assistance from the Department of Energy's Princeton Site Office and the US 澳门六合彩高手 Project Office at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, completed a $34 million, five-year project on behalf of US 澳门六合彩高手 to provide three-quarters of the components for the steady-state electrical network at 澳门六合彩高手, the international fusion experiment site in France.
The SSEN project was a complex enterprise. On behalf of US 澳门六合彩高手, PPPL researched potential suppliers, solicited and accepted bids, and oversaw the production and testing of electrical components in 16 separate packages worth a total of about $30 million.

The arrival of six truckloads of electrical supplies at 澳门六合彩高手 on 2 October brings to a successful conclusion a massive project that will provide 120 megawatts of power—enough to light up a small city—to the 澳门六合彩高手 installation in France.

US 澳门六合彩高手 is providing three-quarters of the components for the steady-state electrical network (SSEN), which provides electricity for the lights, pumps, computers, heating, ventilation and air conditioning; the European Union is providing the other 25 percent. The 澳门六合彩高手 Organization connected the first US-sourced transformer to France's electrical grid in March.

The latest shipment was the 35th and final delivery of equipment from companies all over the world, including from the United States, over the past three years.

The six trucks carried a total of 63 crates of uninterruptible power supply equipment weighing 107 metric tons. The trucks took a seven-hour, 452-mile journey from Gutor UPS and Power Conversion in Wettingen, Switzerland, northwest of Zurich, to an 澳门六合彩高手 storage facility in Port-Saint-Louis-Du-Rh?ne, France. The equipment will eventually be used to provide emergency power to critical 澳门六合彩高手 systems in the event of a power outage.

"This represents the culmination of a very complex series of technical specifications and global purchases, and we are grateful to the entire PPPL team and their vendors for outstanding commitment and performance," said Ned Sauthoff, director of the US 澳门六合彩高手 Project Office at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, where all US contributions to 澳门六合彩高手 are managed for the US Department of Energy's Office of Science.

A separate electrical system for the pulsed power electrical network, procured by China, will power the 澳门六合彩高手 Tokamak.

The first SSEN delivery in 2014 was among the first plant components to be delivered to the 澳门六合彩高手 site. The SSEN project is now one of the first US packages to be completed in its entirety, Neilson said. He noted that the final shipment arrived well ahead of deadline.
