abstract = {Superconducting cavities with high Q-factor require precise
tuning to match the RF frequency, ensuring stable
electromagnetic fields and minimizing RF power consumption.
At the XFEL accelerator, TESLA cavities are tuned using slow
tuners (step motors) for coarse adjustments and fast tuners
(piezoelectric actuators) for fine-tuning and compensating
disturbances such as Lorentz Force Detuning (LFD) and
microphonics*. Critical to this system, Piezo actuators
require high-voltage (up to 100V) and high-current (up to
1A) driving signals for effective LFD compensation. However,
they are vulnerable to overvoltage, overcurrent, and
overheating**, and their protection is crucial since
replacing damaged piezo in fully assembled modules is
unfeasible. Additionally, piezo induced vibrations can
affect the machine's stability. Optimizing piezo
excitation—by reducing voltage, current, and current slope
while ensuring effective LFD compensation—improves both
reliability and machine stability. This paper explores the
optimization of piezo excitation at XFEL, detailing methods
and results applicable to other facilities with
superconducting cavities.},
