PD IEC/TS 61973:2012

This standard PD IEC/TS 61973:2012 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

IEC/TS 61973:2012(E) 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).
