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

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 which shares the same tunnel as the storage ring. With a circumference of 249.6 m and a magnetic lattice based on combined magnets an emittance of 9 nm.rad has been predicted. At present time we are in an intensive sub-system commissioning testing with the aim to start the commissioning with beam early in January 2010.
