ALBA is a 3 GeV third generation synchrotron light source under construction in Spain. The design and performance of the ALBA Storage Ring Power Converters will be described. A total of 122 power converters are required: 1 for the dipoles (all connected in series), 112 for the quadrupoles (each magnets with its own power supply) and 9 for the sextupoles (each family connected in series). All converters are switched mode with full digital regulation and a common control interface. The paper will describe the performance of the power converters and compare it with the design specifications.

ALBA is a 3 GeV third generation synchrotron light source under construction in Spain. The injection system is composed of a 100 MeV Linac as pre-injector followed by a full energy booster synchrotron. The booster requires AC power converters operating at 3.125 Hz with a sinusoidal current waveform. All converters are switched mode with full digital regulation and a common control interface. The design specifications have been demonstrated and early tests on the Booster commissioning with beam will be presented
