Introduction

Analysis of the core content of the standard

This standard systematically constructs a maintenance technology system for flexible DC transmission lines for the first time, and innovatively divides the maintenance levels into four levels: A/B/C/D:

Maintenance levelPower outage requirementsTypical work contentCycle benchmark
Grade A maintenancePower outage of the entire lineReplacement of cables/accessories in batches, reconstruction of channels10 years/when necessary
Grade B maintenancePartial power outageDiagnostic test, replacement of key components3-5 years
Grade C maintenancePlanned power outagePreventive test, fault elimination maintenance1 year
Grade D maintenanceNo power outageLive detection, professional inspection0.5-3 months

Key technical requirements

1. Core indicators of cable line maintenance

The insulation resistance of the land cable is tested using a 2500V megohmmeter, requirements:

  • Main insulation resistance: ≥1000MΩ·km for land cables, ≥500MΩ·km for submarine cables
  • Outer sheath resistance: ≥0.5MΩ·km and deviation from initial value ≤10%

Typical failure case: A ±320kV flexible DC project adopted YJLW03-Z 500kV cable. After 3 years of operation, the B-level maintenance found that the insulation resistance of the outer sheath dropped to 0.3MΩ·km. It was located as caused by mechanical damage and recovered to 1.2MΩ·km after repair with heat shrink tubing.

2. Special requirements for overhead lines

Special requirements for polarity maintenance for flexible DC overhead lines:

  • Polarity markings must be verified after all hardware and insulators are replaced
  • Polarity verification items must be added to line arrester inspection
  • DC electric field influence must be considered when verifying cross-span distance

Innovative technical measures

1. Special discharge device (Appendix A)

To address the problem of residual charge in high-voltage cables, the standard pioneered a five-level resistor segmented discharge method:

Voltage stage (kV)Connection resistanceDischarge time
100→90160MΩ≥15min
90→4080MΩ≥30min
40→420MΩ≥24h

Compared with the traditional direct grounding method, the safety is improved by more than 80%.

2. Fault Location Technology System (Appendix B)

Establish a differentiated fault location method matrix:

Fault typeRanging methodPrecise positioningApplicable scenarios
Low resistance fault (<10Ω)Low voltage pulse methodAudio induction methodMetallic short circuit
High resistance faultSecondary pulse methodAcoustic and magnetic synchronization methodCable main insulation
Outer sheath faultStep voltage methodCharacteristic current methodDirect buried cable

Standard implementation recommendations

  1. Condition assessment first: It is recommended to establish an equipment health model by combining data such as infrared detection (DL/T664) and oil sample test (GB/T507)
  2. Differentiation cycle: The submarine cable route inspection cycle should be adjusted from 1 week to dynamic adjustment, combined with AIS/VTS system optimization
  3. New technology integration: It is recommended to include drone inspection (Clause 6.1.3) in the routine means of Class D maintenance
  4. Full process control: The maintenance document package should include the 7 types of technical documents required by Clause 7.2 to achieve closed-loop management

Analysis of Standard Evolution

Compared with traditional DC transmission maintenance standards, this standard has three breakthroughs:

  • For the first time, it clarifies the maintenance items unique to VSC-HVDC (such as polarity detection of cable terminals on the converter station side)
  • Innovatively introduces a high-voltage residual charge treatment solution based on a dedicated discharge device
  • Establishes a comprehensive submarine cable protection system (including AIS monitoring, route detection, etc.)
