IEC 61803:1999+AMD1:2010+AMD2:2016 CSV

IEC 61803:1999+A1:2010+A2:2016 applies to all line-commutated high-voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations used for power exchange in utility systems. This standard presumes the use of 12-pulse thyristor converters but can, with due care, also be used for 6-pulse thyristor converters. In some applications, synchronouscompensators or static var compensators (SVC) may be connected to  
the a.c. bus of the HVDC converter station. The loss determination
procedures for such equipment are not included in this standard.  
This standard presents a set of standard procedures for determining
the total losses of an HVDC converter station. Typical HVDC        
equipment is shown in figure 1. The procedures cover all parts,    
except as noted above, and address no-load operation and operating  
losses together with their methods of calculation which use,        
wherever possible, measured parameters. Converter station designs  
employing novel components or circuit configurations compared to the
typical design assumed in this standard, or designs equipped with
unusual auxiliary circuits that could affect the losses, shall be
assessed on their own merits.
