Abstract

Radiofrequency (RF) quantities in and around an HVDC converter station were measured in the 0.1 to 5 MHz frequency range to provide baseline data for the formulation of a means to predict the RF performance of such stations. Special records were taken at selected points and traverses in the station. The RF voltages of buses were measured and ground-level electric field strength and magnetic flux density measurements were conducted. To obtain the maximum amount of information about a converter pole when it is considered as an RF source, swept frequency (broadband) measurements were selected as the prime records for the analysis of pole performance. The principal source of the RF noise is the firing valve. Additional impedance versus frequency measurements of station components were also performed for undertaking RF modeling of the converter station
