What is PD IEC TR 62672 – HVDC systems about?
PD IEC TR 62672 is an international standard that discusses the reliability and availability evaluation of HVDV systems. HVDC allows power transmission between AC transmission systems that are not synchronized.
PD IEC TR 62672 applies to all line-commutated and voltage-sourced high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems used for power exchange in utility systems. The purpose of PD IEC TR 62672 is to define a standardized reporting protocol so that data collected from different HVDC transmission systems can be compared on an equitable basis.
PD IEC TR 62672 covers point-to-point transmission systems, back-to-back interconnections and multi-terminal transmission systems. For point-to-point systems and back-to-back interconnections, i.e., two-terminal systems, statistics are reported based on the total transmission capability from the sending end to the receiving end measured at a given point.
Who is PD IEC TR 62672 – HVDC systems for?
PD IEC TR 62672 on HVDV systems is applicable to:
- Electrical engineer
- Quality testing personnel
- Manufacturer of HVDV stations
Why should you use PD IEC TR 62672 – HVDC systems?
HVDC allows power transmission between AC transmission systems that are not synchronized. HVDC can expand the energy networks, making them more stable. HVDC is more environmentally friendly than AC, providing more energy per square metre over greater distances more efficiently than AC systems, as well as lower losses and fewer space requirements.
PD IEC TR 62672 provides you with reliability in HVDC systems which helps you in indicating the amount of power transmitted in the specified time, conditions and environment. This data shows the availability rate of operating HVDV systems is over 90 per cent.
With obedience and compliance to PD IEC TR 62672, you can efficiently manufacture high-quality HVDC systems. In this manner, you can make sure the product meets and exceeds quality expectations.
What’s changed since the last update?
PD IEC TR 62672:2018 supersedes PD IEC/TS 62672‑1:2013, which is withdrawn. It includes:
- HVDC stations with voltage sourced converters have been included
- this document has been aligned with the latest Cigré TB 590:2014, which has superseded the previous Cigré TB 346:2008
