DIN EN 61803
Determination of power losses in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations with line-commutated converters (IEC 61803:1999 + A1:2010); German version EN 61803:1999 + A1:2010
Bestimmung der Leistungsverluste in Hochspannungsgleichstrom-(HGÜ-)Stromrichterstationen mit netzgeführten Stromrichtern (IEC 61803:1999 + A1:2010); Deutsche Fassung EN 61803:1999 + A1:2010
Overview
This standard applies to all line-commutated high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations used for power exchange in utility systems. The standard presumes the use of 12-pulse thyristor converters but can, with due care, also be used for 6-pulse thyristor converters. The responsible Committee is K 331 "Leistungselektronik" ("Power electronics") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) of DIN and VDE.
