Abstract At the Electron Stretcher Facility ELSA of Bonn University, an increase of the maximum stored beam current from 20 mA to 200 mA is planned. The storage ring operates applying a fast energy ramp of 6 GeV/s from 1.2 GeV to 3.2 GeV and afterwards a slow extraction over a few seconds to the hadron physics experiments. The beam current is mainly limited due to missing RF power at highest energies in order to compensate for synchrotron radiation losses. The current stretcher ring's RF station is based on a single 200 kW klystron driving two 5-cell PETRA type cavities. To achieve the desired beam current at maximum energy two additional 7-cell PETRA type cavities, drivin by a second klystron, will be installed. With this upgrade, sufficient beam lifetime for slow beam extraction will be provided and thus ensure an adequate duty cycle of the external beam current. The general setup of the new RF station as well as the changes in operation when switching from one to two stations will be presented.
