DIN EN 62747
Terminology for voltage-sourced converters (VSC) for high-voltage direct current (HVDC) systems (IEC 62747:2014); German version EN 62747:2014
Terminologie für Spannungszwischenkreis-Stromrichter (VSC) für Hochspannungsgleichstrom(HGÜ)-Systeme (IEC 62747:2014); Deutsche Fassung EN 62747:2014
Overview
This International Standard defines terms for the subject of self-commutated voltage-sourced converters used for transmission of power by high voltage direct current (HVDC). The standard is written mainly for the case of application of insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) in voltage sourced converters (VSC) but may also be used for guidance in the event that other types of semiconductor devices which can be both be turned on and turned off by control action. The responsible committee is DKE/K 331 "Leistungselektronik" ("Power electronics") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
