What is PD IEC TS 63042-201-Design requirements for the UHV AC substation about?
PD IEC TS 63042-201 is the 201st part of a multi-series standard that covers design requirements for the UHV AC substations that enable the development of safe and secure substations with high transmission capacity and long transmission distance.
PD IEC TS 63042-201 provides common rules for designing substations with the highest voltages of AC transmission systems exceeding 800 kV, to provide safety and proper functioning for the intended use.
Who is PD IEC TS 63042-201-Design requirements for the UHV AC substation for?
PD IEC TS 63042-201 on design requirements for UHV AC substation applies to:
- Electricity power grids
- Regulatory bodies
- Electrical and design engineers
- Quality and safety assurance services
- Manufacturers of components for UHV AC substations
Why should you use PD IEC TS 63042-201-Design requirements for the UHV AC substation?
In designing UHV AC substations, several factors need to be considered, such as system demands, operation and maintenance requirements, construction requirements, site condition, environmental impact and economy for planning, management, and operational stability. They should also be designed to withstand electrical, mechanical, climatic, and environmental influences to ensure safety from hazards.
PD IEC TS 63042-201 provides you guidance on UHV AC substation requirements, including system demands, operation and maintenance requirements, construction requirements, site condition, environmental impact and economy that facilitates cost-effective setup, improved operations, and minimisation of transmission losses.
PD IEC TS 63042-201 provides you guidance on the selection of equipment and conductors for different environmental conditions, which includes ambient temperature, solar radiation intensity, wind velocity, altitude, ice and snow, humidity, pollution and more, that ensure the safety and protection of UHV AC substations to external environments.
Adoption of PD IEC TS 63042-201 also provides users with a sustainable approach to reduce the effect of UHV AC substations on the environment on factors such as audible noise, electric and magnetic field, radio interference and carbon footprint.
