This guide specifies the basic norms for protpection and control equipment of high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission systems that have the voltage range up to and including 800 kV. It also defines and specifies requirements for control and protection equipment used in the design, manufacturing, research, and testing of HVDC control and protection equipment. These guidelines apply to the control and protection equipment for monopolar, bipolar, and two-terminal LCC (line commutated converter) HVDC systems with the main circuit structure of one 12-pulse converter or two series 12-pulse converters per station pole. This guidance can also be used as reference for HVDC applications with other topologies like back-to-back links, parallel converter systems, and multi-terminal/multi-circuit HVDC transmissions.
Abstract
New IEEE Standard - Active.The ac/dc substation control equipment, pole control equipment, protection equipment, and auxiliary secondary equipment of high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission systems are the focus of this guide. Based on analyzing the existing HVDC transmission projects, specifications for structure, configuration, performance and test of HVDC control and protection equipment, which could be applied to HVDC transmission system with the voltage range up to and including 800 kV are provided in this guide.
