Abstract

The ITER Steady State Electrical Network (SSEN) is an AC distribution system that provides approximately 120MW of power to supply all of the conventional loads of the ITER facility. The US Domestic Agency is responsible for the procurement and in-kind contribution of 75% of the SSEN equipment, all of which consists of standard commercial grade AC power systems components. This paper reports on lessons learned during the SSEN procurement activity that can inform future procurement activities of similar class equipment that will comprise a high fraction of the overall ITER procurements.
