This document defines terms for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission systems and for HVDC substations using electronic power converters for the conversion from AC to DC or vice versa.
This document is applicable to HVDC substations with line commutated converters, most commonly based on three-phase bridge (double way) connections (see Figure 2) in which unidirectional electronic valves, for example semiconductor valves, are used. For the thyristor valves, only the most important definitions are included in this document. A more comprehensive list of HVDC valve terminology is given in IEC 60700-2.Cross References:IEC 60617EN 60146-1-1IEC 60146-1-1IEC 60050-605IEC 60027IEC 60050-436IEC 60700-2IEC 60076IEC 60050-421EN 60099IEC 60076 (toutes les parties)IEC 60050-551IEC 60050-521EN 60076IEC 60099IEC 60027 (toutes les parties)EN 60700-2IEC 60050-601EN 60027IEC TR 60146-1-2:2011CLC/TR 60919-2:2010EN 60146-1-3:1993IEC TR 60919-1:2010IEC 60146-1-3:1991IEC 60747-6:2016IEC TR 60919-2:2008IEC TR 60919-1:2010/AMD1:2013IEC TR 60919-2:2008/AMD1:2015IEC TR 60919-1:2010/AMD2:2017IEC 60050-614:2016IEC TS 63014-1:2018IEC TR 60919-3:2009IEC 60099 (toutes les parties)All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
