Introduction
HVDC Grid Systems are a new field of technology. There are very few systems with a small number of
converter stations in operation; some more are in execution or in detailed planning.
The Guidelines and Parameter Lists to Functional Specifications are presented featuring planning,
specification and execution of multi-vendor HVDC Grid Systems in Europe. Being elaborated by a team of
experts from leading manufacturers of HVDC technology, Transmission System Operators (TSO's), Academia
and Institutions in Europe, the present document provides a commonly agreed basis for an open market of
compatible equipment and solutions for HVDC Grid Systems. Executing such systems and gaining operational
experience is seen an important prerequisite for developing corresponding technical standards in the future.
By elaborating this document, special care has been taken to as far as possible describe the requirements in a
technologically independent way. In order to achieve that, a function of interest is described by a
comprehensive set of parameters. The parameters are selected based on a systematic analysis of physical
phenomena relevant to achieve the requested functionality. The physical phenomena are categorized in order
to show the mutual dependence of the individual parameters and ensure completeness of the physical aspects
to be considered. Based on a clearly defined common language describing the functionalities requested,
existing technologies can be applied or new dedicated technical solutions can be developed.
Reflecting the early stage of technology, these Guidelines and Parameter Lists to Functional Specifications
need comprehensive explanations and background information for the technical parameters. This dual
character of the content will be represented by two corresponding parts:
• Part I “Guidelines” containing the explanations and the background information in context with the
Parameter Lists.
• Part II “Parameter Lists” containing the essential lists of parameters and values describing properties of
the a.c. respectively d.c. system (operating conditions) and parameters describing the performance of the
newly installed component (performance requirements).

1 Scope
1.1 General
These Guidelines and Parameter Lists to Functional Specifications describe specific functional requirements
for HVDC Grid Systems. The terminology “HVDC Grid Systems” is used here describing HVDC systems for
power transmission having more than two converter stations connected to a common d.c. circuit.
While this document focuses on requirements, that are specific for HVDC Grid Systems, some requirements
are considered applicable to all HVDC systems in general, i.e. including point-to-point HVDC systems. Existing
IEC, Cigré or other documents relevant have been used for reference as far as possible.
Corresponding to electric power transmission applications, this document is applicable to high voltage
systems, i.e. .only nominal d.c. voltages equal or higher than 50 kV with respect to earth are considered in this
document.
NOTE While the physical principles of d.c. networks are basically voltage independent, the technical options for
designing equipment get much wider with lower d.c. voltage levels, e.g. in case of converters or switchgear.
Both parts have the same outline and headlines to aid the reader.
1.2 About the Present Release
The present release of the Guidelines and Parameter Lists for Functional Specifications describes technical
guidelines and specifications for HVDC Grid Systems which are characterized by having exactly one single
connection between two converter stations, often referred to as radial systems. When developing the
requirements for radial systems, care is taken not to build up potential show-stoppers for meshed systems.
Meshed HVDC Grid Systems can be included into this specification at a later point in time.
The Guidelines and Parameter List to the Functional Specification of HVDC Grid Systems cover technical
aspects of
• Coordination of HVDC Grid and a.c. Systems
• HVDC Grid System Characteristics
• HVDC Grid System Control
• HVDC Grid System Protection
• Models and Validation
• Beyond the present scope, the following aspects are proposed for future work:
• AC/DC converter stations
• HVDC Grid System Equipment
• HVDC Grid System Integration Tests

3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. ISO and IEC maintain
terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
