Abstract

HVDC power transmission is now being considered not only for point-to-point interties, but also as meshed grids where several operators may be connected into the grid, each having their own economic sphere. In this new situation it is important that transmitted energy can be distinguished from losses incurred in the converter stations, to enable a fair distribution of costs for grid operation. To this end, a metrology infrastructure is needed to provide traceable calibration and approval both for high-current and high-voltage transducers and d.c.-electricity meters. A resent research project funded by the European Commission tackled these questions in a concerted research effort. The pre-normative work carried out to define requirements both for d.c. energy meters with analogue digital input is described. The design and performance of new reference voltage transducers for precision measurement of HVDC are briefly presented. Measurement uncertainty below 0.01 % is demonstrated on voltages up to 1 000 kV.

Funding

This work has been funded by the European Union on the basis of Decision No 912/2009/EC, and identified in the European Metrology Research Programme (EMRP) as Joint Research Project (JRP) ENG07 HVDC, Metrology for High Voltage Direct Current. A research project financed by the European Union has been carried out with the explicit aim to enhance the metrological background for HVDC, including d.c.-side metering. The project is identified as EMRP ENG07, Metrology for HVDC. The joint research project had participation from seven European National Metrology Institutes, one university and one industrial partner, with one of the authors leading the project. The major targets in this endeavour were: the development of a foundation for d.c.-energy meter standardisation, development of national metrology resources to provide traceable calibration of such meters, development of a laboratory reference divider for up to 1 000 kV d.c.-voltage at an accuracy level that caters to metering requirements, • development of transportable references to disseminate traceability of 1 000 kV d.c. into manufacturers’ testing laboratories.
