IEEE 1662-2016

This document summarizes current electrical engineering methods and design practices for applying power electronics (PE) in electrical power distribution and conversion systems from a common frame of reference for reliable integrated electrical power systems. It recommends PE equipment requirements, necessary power system analytical studies, PE design analysis and testing, and certification and inspection procedures.

The purpose of this document is to recommend a methodology for analysis and specifications parameters of PE equipment for electrical power systems. It analyzes the impact of power electronics building blocks (PEBBs) or integrated power systems (IPSs) on size, life cycle cost, weight, fuel efficiency, and risk reduction of implementation.

Revision Standard - Superseded. Recommendations and requirements for the design and applications of power electronics in land-based (onshore) and marine (offshore) electrical power systems are provided in this standard. A wide range of power electronics equipment with aggregated power ratings at and above 100 kW with voltages equal or less than 52 kV (ac) or (dc) is covered. Existing engineering practices, analytical methods, and performance characteristics are described. Applicable international and local standards are referenced with appropriate guidance to provide users of the standard with correct criteria for design, testing, and maintenance necessary for reliable operation of integrated power systems.
