Overview
SIST EN 62823:2016/A1:2020 is a European standard developed by CENELEC that focuses on the electrical testing of thyristor valves used in thyristor controlled series capacitors (TCSC). This standard ensures the reliable and consistent evaluation of thyristor valves, which are critical components in power electronic systems for electrical transmission and distribution. It is harmonized with IEC 62823:2015/A1:2019 and defines rigorous testing methods to verify valve performance under normal and extreme electrical conditions.
This amendment A1, approved in 2020, refines testing procedures and clarifies technical specifications related to valve conduction, capacitive boost operation, and transient overvoltage withstand capability, maintaining the standard’s alignment with the latest industry practices.
Key Topics
Thyristor Valve Testing Procedures
Detailed methods for conducting electrical tests such as capacitive boost operation, lightning impulse tests, and switching impulse tests, ensuring valves meet insulation and voltage withstand requirements.Capacitive Boost Operation Mode
Mathematical formulas and models describing the thyristor valve current and voltage behavior during capacitive boost conditions, essential for evaluating valve dynamic response.Test Values and Waveshapes
Defined parameters and waveforms for impulse and AC voltage stresses accurately simulate operational and fault conditions, including standard lightning impulse shaped according to IEC 60060-1.Valve Insensitivity to Electromagnetic Disturbance
Guidelines to verify the valve's robustness against electromagnetic interference, predominantly using switching impulse tests to assure operational integrity.Atmospheric and Environmental Corrections
Factors correcting test conditions to account for environmental influences on dielectric performance, such as changes in enclosure altitude or humidity.Test Object Definition Updates
Clarifications in components like "valve base electronics units" emphasize consistent testing across different valve parts.
Applications
The SIST EN 62823:2016/A1:2020 standard applies predominantly to the design, manufacturing, testing, and quality assurance processes for thyristor valves used in:
Power Transmission Systems
Thyristor controlled series capacitors enhance power flow control and stability in high-voltage AC transmission networks.Series Capacitor Installations
Improvements in power oscillation damping and mitigation of sub-synchronous resonance through validated thyristor valve performance.Electrical Equipment Certification
Ensuring compliance with electrical endurance and insulation coordination requirements before field deployment.Substation Equipment Testing Labs
Standardized test procedures help verification bodies and manufacturers perform consistent and repeatable electrical tests on TCSC components.
