8. The concept of InKind-Contributions:
An international partner takes over a work package
in own technical and financial responsibility
according to the functional needs
and basic specifications of the work package
and the costs as listed in the cost book.
Because of this many administrative and political
Issues had to be solved in the last 2 years.

10. Political and financial Status:
Because of an increase in cost for
- accelerators
- experiments
- civil engineering
the Modularized Start Version was defined
and agreed upon by the international partners.

12. Political and financial status
There are firm commitments of 16 international partners including Germany
summing up to 1.1 Billion €.
Recently announced commitments of more interested countries are not included
in the sum.
Contracts are finalized and supposed to be signed in the third quarter of 2010.
FAIR GmbH is expected to be founded in the third quarter of 2010, too.

13. Technical status
The modularized civil construction design is in an iterative loop to meet the
financial limits as given by the Modularized Start Version.
It will be finished in July 2010.
This construction design is not the detailed final construction, but it defines the
fundamental layout and later, major changes are not possible because of the
German procedure for building projects funded by public authorities (ZBau).
An example for the actual iteration loop is the tunnel for the two accelerators SIS 100 and SIS 300 and the parallel tunnel for components, which should be close to the machine but do not have to be in the machine tunnel.

SIS 100/300 Paralleltunnel
Created in the first ZBau-loop:
Components are in non radiated area
access to components while beam is on
very short cables to the beam line
Width of parallel tunnel is in discussion
Thickness of radiation shielding is in discussion

15. Technical Status continued
Independent from the modifications due to the
Modularized Start Version
there are more technical changes in the project since the status of 2008
An example for changes as mentioned above is the connection to the Electrical Power Grid.

17. Electrical Power Grid : Status 2008 to 2010
Increase of Common Power C2 to 63 MVA because:
- all magnets of HESR are decided to be normal conducting
- Dipols of CR-Ring are decided to be normal conducting
Increase of Pulse Power PP2 to 63 MVA because:
- all magnets of HEBT are decided to be normal conducting
- Transformers of PP1, PP2 and C2 are interchangeable
- 3 Transformers of the same type 63 MVA do not cost much more
than 1 transformer 31,5 MVA and 2 transformers 63 MVA
63 MVA transformers are placed on the FAIR-site because:
- reduction of number of transmission cables to the site
Decision to parallel the transformers PP1 and PP2 because:
- voltage fluctuations due to reactive power swings of 46 MVAr are reduced to 3.7%
- additional costs are very small

German In-kind contribution
The digital control algorithm is based on
analogue control strategies enhanced by the
possibilities of digital signal processing.
All parameters of the control algorithm can
be loaded and read by the external control
system.
ACU
