AbstractSince its official operation in 2016, the Taiwan Photon Source (TPS) has been dedicated to providing a stable and high-quality synchrotron radiation light source. The TPS storage ring is divided into 24 sections, each equipped with 7 sextupole power supply units, totaling 168 units. These power supplies are responsible for delivering precise and stable current to drive the sextupole magnets. This paper focuses on evaluating the long-term operational stability of the sextupole power supply system since its commissioning and proposes a targeted upgrade strategy to address potential reliability issues. To enhance overall system stability and yield, and to effectively reduce the frequency of beam trips caused by power supply faults, an upgrade plan involving the adoption of ultra-high-precision power supplies has been proposed. In addition, the removed high-precision power supplies will be repurposed as spares to improve system redundancy and fault response capability. The upgrade project is scheduled for full implementation by 2028. A pilot installation has already been completed in Cell 22, and successful electron beam storage was achieved at the end of 2024. Preliminary assessments suggest that, upon completion, the upgrade will reduce the number of beam trip events by approximately 2 to 3 times per year and decrease the total annual downtime by around 4 to 6 hours, thereby significantly improving the operational reliability of the TPS storage ring and the quality of service provided to users.
