THYRISTOR VALVES FOR HIGH VOLTAGE DIRECT CURRENT (HVDC)
POWER TRANSMISSION –
Part 3: Essential ratings (limiting values) and characteristics
FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international

co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and

in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,

Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their

preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with

may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising

with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between

any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent

rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

IEC 60700-3 has been prepared by subcommittee 22F: Power electronics for electrical

transmission and distribution systems, of IEC technical committee 22: Power electronic systems

and equipment. It is an International Standard.

129 FOREWORD

130 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all

131 national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-

132 operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to

133 other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available

134 Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical

135 committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work.

136 International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.

137 IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions

138 determined by agreement between the two organizations.

139 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

140 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC

141 National Committees.

142 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in

143 that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC

144 cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.

145 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to

146 the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and

147 the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.

148 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment

149 services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by

150 independent certification bodies.

151 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

152 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of

153 its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any

154 nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication,

155 use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.

156 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

157 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

158 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights.

159 IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

265 4 Service conditions
266 4.1 General

267 Thyristor valves shall be able to operate continuously and reliably under the specified service

268 conditions throughout their entire service life except for maintenances. Such conditions are essential

269 to define the ratings and characteristics of the thyristor valves, and mainly include the environmental

270 conditions of valve halls under which thyristor valves will be required to operate, system conditions

271 directly related to the design and operation of thyristor valves, main technical parameters of 6-pulse

272 bridges required by the system design, and any other conditions provided by the purchaser. Some of

273 these conditions may not be applicable depending on the HVDC system design.
274 4.2 Environmental conditions
275 4.2.1 Site altitude

276 The altitude of the HVDC substation above sea-level shall be provided for insulation design of thyristor

277 valves.

278 For external insulation (as defined in clause 3.1.3 of IEC 60700-1), the insulation level of thyristor

279 valves under standardized reference atmospheric conditions shall be determined in accordance with

280 clause 4.2 of IEC 60700-1.

281 For internal insulation (as defined in clause 3.1.3 of IEC 60700-1), clause 8.2 of IEC 60700-1 shall be

282 referred to.
283 4.2.2 Air temperature and humidity range in valve halls

284 The maximum temperature and minimum relative humidity inside valve halls shall be considered in the

285 atmospheric correction according to clause 4.2 of IEC 60700-1. In addition, the air temperature and the

286 relative humidity in the valve hall shall be considered to prevent condensation on any surface of

287 components within the valve hall.
288 4.2.3 Cleanness in valve halls

289 The cleanness in valve halls (e.g. equivalent salt deposit density on the surface of insulators and

290 insulating materials) shall be provided for determination of creepage distances of thyristor valves. Dust

291 and pollution in valve halls shall be kept as low as possible to avoid un-economical increase of

292 creepage distances of thyristor valves.
293 4.2.4 Seismic conditions

294 Thyristor valves shall have the ability to withstand seismic stresses and to maintain their function

295 without failure during and after an earthquake of any specified intensity that may occur at the location

296 of the HVDC substation. Maximum expected horizontal and vertical acceleration along with the

297 frequency range of oscillations shall be provided.
298 4.3 System conditions
299 4.3.1 General information of the system
300 This part shall include at least the following information:
301 a) the purpose of the project, and
302 b) rated power, and
303 c) direction of power flow, and
