IEC/TC 122 - UHV AC transmission systems
Standardization in the field of AC transmission technology for highest voltage of the system exceeding 800 kV, particularly the preparation of systems-oriented specifications such as those for planning, design, technical requirements, construction, commissioning, reliability, availability, operation and maintenance. Development of processes for specifying requirements and demonstrating whether the required performance of UHV systems is assured. Responsibility for equipment standards remains with product TCs, except for specific equipment which is not within the scope of an existing TC but is nevertheless essential for the UHV transmission system. The UHV AC Transmission TC will consult and coordinate with the product TCs in all systems-related aspects of equipment standards.
Système de transport UHT en courant alternatif
Normalisation dans le domaine du transport en courant alternatif ultra-haute tension (UHT) au-delà de 800 kV, en particulier élaboration des spécifications sur les aspects système tels que la planification, la conception, les exigences techniques, la construction, la mise en service, la fiabilité, la disponibilité, ainsi que l’exploitation et la maintenance. Ce comité développe des processus pour spécifier les exigences et démontrer que les performances requises pour les systèmes ultra-haute tension (UHT) sont assurées. Les Comités « Produits » gardent la responsabilité de l'établissement des normes d’équipement, à l’exception de celles qui concernent les équipements spécifiques qui ne relèvent pas du domaine d’un Comité existant mais qui sont néanmoins essentiels pour les systèmes de transport UHT. Le Comité en charge des systèmes de transport UHT en courant alternatif consultera et travaillera en coordination avec les Comités « Produits » pour tous les aspects système des normes d’équipement.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.
A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
