Overview
EN IEC 60633:2019/AC:2020-04 is the CENELEC-adopted corrigendum to IEC 60633:2019 - a vocabulary standard for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission. Its purpose is to provide authoritative, harmonized terminology for HVDC systems, components and control concepts used across design, operation, testing and documentation of HVDC projects. The corrigendum (IEC 60633:2019/COR1:2020) updates the English/French text and replaces Figure 12 (the hierarchical structure of an HVDC control system). This corrigendum became effective on 10 April 2020.
Key topics
- Standardized terminology for HVDC technology: clear definitions used by engineers, manufacturers and authorities.
- HVDC control system hierarchy: corrected Figure 12 shows the hierarchical structure and relationships between control layers (examples include HVDC master control, system bipole/pole control, converter unit and valve control units).
- Converter and valve components: referenced terms include converter bridge, valve thyristor levels, valve base electronics and valve electronics.
- Integrated AC/DC control concepts: vocabulary covers integrated AC/DC system control and multiterminal control arrangements.
- Scope and classification: aligned with ICS codes (29.200 Rectifiers/Converters and 01.040.29 Electrical engineering vocabularies).
Practical applications
- Use by HVDC project engineers and system designers to ensure consistent terminology in specifications, drawings and control design documents.
- Reference for manufacturers of converters, valves, control equipment and power electronics to harmonize product documentation.
- Guidance for grid operators and utilities involved in HVDC operation, protection and control planning.
- Aid for standards writers, technical authors, translators and educators when producing manuals, training materials and multilingual documents.
- Useful to testing and certification labs for uniform reporting and interpretation of test results and compliance statements.
Who should use this standard
- HVDC control and protection engineers
- Converter station designers and integrators
- Power electronics and valve manufacturers
- Utility planners and system operators
- Standards committees and regulatory bodies
Related standards and identifiers
- IEC 60633:2019 (base vocabulary for HVDC)
- IEC 60633:2019/COR1:2020 (corrigendum incorporated here)
- EN IEC 60633:2019/AC:2020-04 (CENELEC endorsement)
- ICS classification: 29.200, 01.040.29
By adopting EN IEC 60633 terminology, stakeholders achieve clearer communication across multinational HVDC projects and more consistent documentation for design, testing and operation.
