(Main)Voltage sourced converter (VSC) valves for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission - Electrical testing (IEC 62501:2024)
Voltage sourced converter (VSC) valves for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power transmission - Electrical testing (IEC 62501:2024)
IEC 62501:2024 applies to self-commutated converter valves, for use in a three-phase bridge voltage sourced converter (VSC) for high voltage DC power transmission or as part of a back-to-back link, and to dynamic braking valves. It is restricted to electrical type and production tests. This document can be used as a guide for testing of high-voltage VSC valves used in energy storage systems (ESS). The tests specified in this document are based on air insulated valves. The test requirements and acceptance criteria can be used for guidance to specify the electrical type and production tests of other types of valves. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Conditions for use of evidence in lieu are inserted as a new Table 1;
b) Test parameters for valve support DC voltage test, 7.3.2, and MVU DC voltage test, 8.4.1, updated;
c) AC-DC voltage test between valve terminals, Clause 9, is restructured and alternative tests, by individual AC and DC voltage tests, added in 9.4.2;
d) Partial discharge test in routine test program is removed;
e) More information on valve component fault tolerance, Annex B, is added;
f) Valve losses determination is added as Annex C.

Valves à convertisseur de source de tension (VSC) pour le transport d'énergie en courant continu à haute tension (CCHT) - Essais électriques (IEC 62501:2024)
L'IEC 62501:2024 s'applique aux valves à convertisseur auto-commuté, conçues pour être utilisées dans un convertisseur de source de tension (VSC) en pont triphasé pour le transport d'énergie en courant continu à haute tension ou dans une liaison dos-à-dos, ainsi qu'aux valves à freinage dynamique. Elle est limitée aux essais de type électriques et de série. Le présent document peut servir de guide pour les essais des valves à VSC à haute tension utilisées dans les systèmes de stockage d'énergie (ESS). Les essais spécifiés dans le présent document sont basés sur des valves isolées par l'air. Les exigences d'essai et les critères d'acceptation peuvent servir de guide pour spécifier les essais de type électriques et de série d'autres types de valves. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) un nouveau tableau relatif aux conditions d'utilisation de la substitution de preuve (Tableau 1) a été inséré;
b) les paramètres d'essai relatifs à l'essai de support de valve sous tension continue (7.3.2) et à l'essai de MVU sous tension continue (8.4.1) ont été mis à jour;
c) l'Article 9 concernant l'essai sous tension alternative-continue entre les bornes de valve a été réorganisé et des variantes ont été ajoutées en 9.4.2 pour les essais individuels sous tension alternative et continue;
d) l'essai de décharge partielle a été supprimé du programme des essais individuels de série;
e) des informations complémentaires relatives à la tolérance aux pannes des composants de valve ont été ajoutées à l'Annexe B;
f) la détermination des pertes de valve a été ajoutée à l'Annexe C.
