SPS Partial Economy J. Wenninger BE-OP-SPS April 2009 The partial economy team: S. Page, M. Jonker, S. Cetour Cave, L. Pereira, J.C. Bau, I. Kozsar, E. Carlier
What is the aim partial economy? Switch dynamically from a nominal to a reduced pulse on SFT cycles (for the moment) in the absence of beam after the first injection to save power.
EDF Energy Prices • Cost of 1 minute of SPS running (summer): • SPS main dipoles at their limit of 39 MW : 13 Euro. • SPS total consumption of ~ 80 MV : 26 Euro. During FT period ~ 20 Euro/MWh
SPS power consumption When we switch to partial economy we save ~230 kWh, i.e ~ 5 Euro/cycle. Note : total SPS consumption ~ 80 MW
SPS partial economy event flow t = inj. + 100 ms t = inj. + 200 ms SIS 1 Set SW interlock CIB.BA1.S1 3 BIC 4 2 SX.APECO 5 Emergency Dump SPS Mains Trigger emergency dump 7 Switch to economy 6
SIS economy tree SIS triggers economy mode when SPS_ECONOMY_MODE = RED = FALSE
SIS economy conditions • The SIS tree involves 4 tests that are OR-ed: • Test 1 : TRUE if the BCT intensity is larger than 5 x10^10 p. • Test 2 : TRUE if the BCT acquisition time field is larger than 150 ms (wrt first injection). • Test 3 : TRUE if the main dipoles are NOT pulsing. • Test 4 : TRUE if the main quadrupoles are NOT pulsing. • All 4 conditions must be FALSE to go to economy, i.e.: • The BCT intensity is smaller than 5 x10^10 p. • The BCT acquisition time is less than 150 ms (wrt first injection). • The main dipoles are pulsing. • The main quadrupoles are pulsing. • The conditions are evaluated 400 ms after the start of the SFT cycle (200 ms after injection). If SIS decides to switch to economy it: • Sends a SW interlock to the BIC in BA1, waits 10 ms, resets the SW interlock. • Triggers the LTIM which in turn triggers the economy event generation.
Protections • If any data is missing NO ECONOMY. • SIS triggers economy only on SFT* cycles. • Delay protections: • The ROCS system does not accept a economy request after 1200 ms. • The economy event can only be triggered: • During the first BP (1.2 s) of a cycle – in place. • From the two SPS SIS servers and one test server. • Due to the fact that SIS is based on JAVA and that JAVA is not ‘real-time’, there is no guarantee on the time when the actions are triggered. • We have observed additional delays of up to ~800 ms due to the JAVA Garbage Collectors (GC) – in the process of being optimized (GC parameters). • There may also be occasional delays due to CMW (set commends). • The timing issues are under investigations.
Diagnostics • SIS tree. • SIS alarm. • XTIM “XTS.APECO-XTIM” can be used to monitor to event SX.APECO used to log the economy cycles. • SPS ring interlock monitor program was upgraded to monitor the economy and indicate it on the main panel. Economy detected Sw interlock <--> economy
Timing details SW permit to FALSE during economy (ms in the cycle)
