(Amendment)High-voltage direct current (HVDC) installations - System tests (IEC 61975:2010/A1:2016)
High-voltage direct current (HVDC) installations - System tests (IEC 61975:2010/A1:2016)
IEC 61975:2010(E) applies to system tests for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) installations which consist of a sending terminal and a receiving terminal, each connected to an a.c. system. The tests specified in this standard are based on bidirectional and bipolar high-voltage direct current (HVDC) installations which consist of a sending terminal and a receiving terminal, each connected to an a.c. system. The test requirements and acceptance criteria should be agreed for back-to-back installations, while multi-terminal systems and voltage sourced converters are not included in this standard. For monopolar HVDC installations, the standard applies except for bipolar tests. This standard only serves as a guideline to system tests for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) installations. The standard gives potential users guidance, regarding how to plan commissioning activities. The tests described in the guide may not be applicable to all projects, but represent a range of possible tests which should be considered. This edition cancels and replaces IEC/PAS 61975 published jointly in 2004 by IEC and CIGRÉ. It constitutes a technical revision incorporating engineering experience.

4.4 Logical steps of system test
Replace the existing text by the following new text:
To ensure proper functioning, the type test and functional performance test shall be
conducted in factory in order to debug and test the control system before the site test.
In order to provide the power grid data and help to compile the system test plan, the off-line
digital simulation shall be conducted before and during the simulation test, especially analysis
on the power flow, stability and overvoltage.
Considering the complexity of the HVDC system, all limiting design cases may be conducted
on the digital simulator in a similar way to those done on site.
Commissioning an HVDC system may affect more than the actual contract parties. The
complexity and the diversified areas concerned during system testing require thorough
planning and scheduling, cooperation of all involved parties and complete and structured
documentation. Before a system test can begin on site, the following preconditions shall be
fulfilled concerning subsystem tests, operator training and safety instructions, system test
plan and test procedures, and all necessary test equipment.
a) All subsystems shall have been tested and commissioned, including AC filters and the
converter transformers.
b) Operating personnel shall be sufficiently trained.

c) Operating instructions for the station shall be available.
d) Personnel, plant safety and security instructions shall be available.
e) System test plan and documentation (Part 8) shall be available and agreed upon.
f) AC/DC power profiles shall have been agreed for each test.
g) Any AC/DC system operating restrictions shall have been identified.
h) Operator voice communications shall be available
i) All necessary test equipment shall have been calibrated and in service.
j) Procedures for the preparation and evaluation of test results shall have been agreed upon.
Site system tests shall follow the structure of the HVDC system, starting from the smallest,
least complex operational unit, usually a 12-pulse converter, and shall end with the total
system in operation. The test sequence shall be scheduled starting at the local level with
simple tests before involving additional locations and the transmission system and more
complex tests.
After all preconditions are fulfilled, converter station tests shall be conducted and begin from
the converter unit test, including the energization of AC filter and DC yard, changing the DC
system configuration, electromagnetic interference, trip test, open line test, etc.
The power transmission (also called end-to-end) test shall start on a monopolar basis,
continuing with bipolar operation, with full power transmission being the final step.
Having the complete system running properly, performance of the steady state can be verified.
With normal operating ramp settings and automatic switching sequences in place, the effect of
a number of disturbances on the DC side of the system as well as in the AC systems may be
checked, and the transient and fault recovery performances may be verified.
Acceptance tests shall be defined between supplier and user in advance and may be
performed at an appropriate time during the test schedule.
Correct operation of the HVDC system over an extended period of time is checked during the
trial operation.
Complete and organized documentation of the system tests, which benefit both the supplier
and the user, shall form part of the project documentation and contain all necessary data
records, logs, etc, and if necessary a commentary and references.
After all the above HVDC system tests have been completed, all functions have been verified
and the HVDC system can be handed over to the users.
4.5 Structure of system test
