The TPS (Taiwan Photon Source) of NSRRC is in the design stage now. The grounding system is crucial to the safety issue, the electrical reference level, the electrical noise and the EMI problems. In order to provide a high quality electrical environment, the grounding system should be designed carefully. The soil resistivity of the construction site was investigated first. Many different configurations of the ground grid layouts were simulated and compared. Beside the horizontal ground-conductors, the vertical ground-electrodes of 30 m are considered to be installed below the ground surface and they will reach the ground water level in hopes of minimizing the resistance of ground grid. The main goal is to obtain a ground grid with resistance lower than 0.2 ohm. A rectangular ground grid will also be installed under the new utility building. It will be connected to the ground grid of TPS to further reduce the resistance of whole grounding system, and also to eliminate the potential difference between them.

The air conditioning system for the 3.0 GeV Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) is currently under the design phase. This paper presents the latest design of the air conditioning system for the TPS. The capacity of the air handling unit (AHU), the dimension and layout of the wind duct were specified. Numerical analysis was applied to simulate the air flow and temperature distribution in one of 24 sections storage ring. A 1/12 experimental hall was also modelled. The air flow of this area was simulated.

To cope with increasing power cost and to confront huge power consumption of the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) in the future, we have been conducting several power saving schemes since 2006 in the National Synchrotron Radiation Research Center (NSRRC). Those power saving schemes include optimization of chiller operation, air conditioning system improvement, power factor improvement and the lighting system improvement.

The vibration issue is significant issue about the accelerator commission. The utility system has many mechanical parts and induces severe vibrations. For the purpose of tracing vibration source and preventing facility failure, the on-line vibration measurement and trace system has been developed. The system adopt programmable automation controller with FPGA function to conduct a series of data acquisition and algorithm. The system including specific analysis of time and frequency domain has also been integrated into the previous monitor and archive system. The user friendly interface may provide on-line analysis and trace vibration source via network anywhere and anytime.
