PD IEC TS 61973:2012+A1:2019

This standard PD IEC TS 61973:2012+A1:2019 High voltage direct current (HVDC) substation audible noise is classified in these ICS categories:

• 29.240.10 Substations. Surge arresters
• 29.240.99 Other equipment related to power transmission and distribution networks

This technical specification applies to the specification and evaluation of outdoor audible noise from high voltage direct current (HVDC) substations. It is intended to be primarily for the use of the utilities and consultants who are responsible for issuing technical specifications for new HVDC projects with and evaluating designs proposed by prospective contractors. It is primarily intended for HVDC projects with line-commutated converters. Part of this technical specification can also be used for the same purpose for HVDC projects using voltage sourced converters, and for flexible a.c. transmission systems (FACTS) devices such as static Var compensators (SVCs) and static synchronous compensators (STATCOMs).
