Full title and description

St IEC TR 62001-3-2016 — High-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems: Guidance to the specification and design evaluation of AC filters — Part 3: Modelling. This technical report provides guidance on harmonic interaction between converters, modelling of AC network impedance, simulation of AC filter performance and related measurement and analysis topics for conventional AC filter technology used with line‑commutated HVDC converters.

Abstract

IEC TR 62001-3:2016 gives practical guidance for the specification and design evaluation of AC side filters for HVDC schemes, with emphasis on harmonic distortion and audible-frequency disturbances. It addresses harmonic interaction across converters, pre‑existing harmonics, network impedance modelling, simulation techniques for AC filter performance, measurement guidance and worked examples; it excludes filters intended primarily for PLC and radio‑interference spectra. This part (Part 3) forms one element of a multi‑part technical report replacing the earlier IEC TR 62001 (2009).

Scope

This Technical Report covers AC‑side filtering for the frequency range relevant to harmonic distortion and audible disturbances in HVDC applications. It provides guidance on harmonic interaction between converters, methods for modelling AC network impedance at harmonic frequencies, simulation approaches to evaluate AC filter performance, measurement of harmonic voltage distortion and practical project experience (including worked examples). The document excludes filters intended specifically for Power Line Carrier (PLC) or radio‑interference mitigation.

Key topics and requirements

• Harmonic interaction across multiple converters and converters-to-network interactions.
• Assessment and treatment of pre‑existing harmonic distortion in the network.
• Modelling techniques for AC network impedance at fundamental and harmonic frequencies.
• Simulation methods to predict AC filter performance under realistic network and converter conditions.
• Guidance on measurement of harmonic voltage distortion and on locating worst‑case network impedance.
• Accuracy considerations for network component modelling at harmonic frequencies.
• Worked examples showing the impact of pre‑existing distortion and comparison of calculation methods.

Typical use and users

Primary users are utilities, HVDC project engineers, consultants and contractors specifying or evaluating AC filter designs; equipment manufacturers and designers of HVDC converter stations; researchers and academics working on power‑system harmonics and filter design; and regulators or test laboratories involved in electromagnetic compatibility and power‑quality assessment for HVDC projects.

Related standards

IEC TR 62001-3:2016 is one part of a multi‑part guidance set (together with IEC TR 62001-1, -2 and -4, all published in 2016) that replaces the earlier single IEC TR 62001:2009. Relevant complementary standards and series include other IEC documents on power quality and EMC and standards addressing transformers, reactive compensation and converter station equipment.
