Introduction

Framework for transient performance specifications of HVDC systems

GB/T 20996.2-2020 focuses on two-terminal HVDC systems consisting of 12-pulse commutation units, and specifies the performance requirements during faults and operations, including:

  • Transient process of switching equipment on the AC side (Section 4.2)
  • Fault recovery characteristics of AC systems (Chapter 5)
  • Converter unit protection configuration (Section 7.4)
  • DC line fault clearing strategy (Section 9.5)

Comparison of key protection technologies

Protection type Detection method Action time Typical application
Converter differential protection Compare valve side with DC current <10ms Bridge arm short circuit (Section 7.2)
DC line protection dv/dt+voltage drop 20-100ms Overhead line lightning strike (Section 9.1)
Metal loop protection Current differential 100-500ms Conductor grounding (Section 11.4)

Key points of insulation coordination design

Section 12.7 of the standard stipulates that the following considerations must be given to the configuration of lightning arresters:

  1. The valve arrester (V) must withstand the AC operating wave (12.7.3)
  2. The DC bus arrester (DB) determines the insulation level of the pole equipment
  3. The neutral bus arrester (E1/E2) must meet the energy requirements for single-pole operation

Typical case:The lightning arrester combination of a series converter station (Figure 22) requires additional consideration of the line discharge current when the unit is short-circuited.


Implementation Suggestions

Based on the standard requirements, the following points should be noted during project implementation:

  • Use phase-selective circuit breakers for switching AC filters (Section 4.2)
  • The creepage distance in the valve hall is designed to be 1.4-1.6cm/kV (Section 12.10.2)
  • Dual configuration of the communication system (Section 13.2)
