GB/T 31460-2015Technical guide for reactive power compensation and allocation of HVDC converter stations (English PDF)

GB/T 31460-2015 is the English-translated version of 高压直流换流站无功补偿与配置技术导则.

GB/T 31460-2015 is the technical guide for reactive power compensation and its allocation at HVDC converter stations.

Clause 1 covers the reactive power balance of the converter station, the determination of the total capacity of the reactive power compensation and of the capacity of the reactive groups, and the requirements for reactive power control; the draft renders this sentence poorly, and it also garbles the second sentence, which repeats that the standard applies to the reactive power compensation and configuration of HVDC converter stations and that such compensation and configuration may be carried out by reference to it.

The contents list runs 1 Scope, 2 Normative references, 3 Terms and definitions, 4 General, 5 Total capacity of the reactive power compensation equipment, 6 Configuration of the converter station reactive power compensation and 7 Reactive power control system, followed by Appendix A, normative, on the determination of the reactive power balance.

Clause 3 adopts the definitions of GB/T 13498 and adds four of its own: the converter bus, the AC bus on the network side to which the converter transformer of the station is directly connected; the reactive power compensation equipment, taken collectively as AC filters, shunt capacitors, shunt reactors and dynamic reactive power compensation equipment together with the switchgear configured to switch them; the sub-bank, an independently switched AC filter, shunt capacitor, shunt reactor or dynamic compensation device, connected by a breaker to a bank on the bus; and the bank, the combination of all the AC filters, shunt capacitors, shunt reactors and dynamic compensation devices connected to one section of the bus, generally connected to the converter bus through a circuit breaker.

The draft breaks off after 3.4, so the content of clauses 4 to 7 is not shown.

Clause 2 cites GB/T 13498 on HVDC terminology, GB/Z 20996.1 on the steady-state performance of HVDC systems, DL 755 on power system security and stability, DL/T 5223 on the design of HVDC converter stations and DL/T 5426 on the design and practice of the plus or minus 800kV HVDC system.

The page records the standard as proposed by the China Electricity Council, administered by the National Standardization Technical Committee for the HVDC project (SAC/TC324) and drafted by the State Grid Beijing Economic Research Institute. It was issued on 15 May 2015 and has applied since 1 December 2015.
