About This Item
IEC TR 62672:2018 provides technical guidance for the reliability and availability evaluation of HVDC systems, making it relevant for organizations that need a structured way to assess performance expectations, operational continuity, and risk exposure. For engineers and compliance teams, IEC TR 62672:2018 supports documented evaluation during design review, procurement, verification activities, and technical validation. It is particularly useful where high-voltage direct current transmission assets must be assessed consistently against reliability and availability objectives.
Overview of IEC TR 62672:2018
Reliability and availability evaluation of HVDC systems focuses on how a high-voltage direct current installation is assessed over time, including the ability to maintain service and recover from faults or interruptions. IEC TR 62672:2018 is likely used as a technical reference for defining evaluation approaches, comparing performance data, and supporting engineering documentation. In practice, it can help teams build a more consistent technical assessment framework for HVDC projects, especially when reliability expectations must be explained in a procurement, design, or conformity assessment workflow.
Compliance applications of IEC TR 62672:2018
This technical document is relevant in HVDC project planning, system acceptance review, asset management, and laboratory or field-based evaluation activities where availability and reliability need to be documented. It may support engineering teams, utilities, manufacturers, and consultants when preparing evidence for technical compliance, operational consistency, or regulatory preparation. IEC TR 62672:2018 can also be useful during bid evaluation and specification review, where reliability assumptions and performance criteria need to be aligned before equipment selection or system integration.
Importance of compliance with IEC TR 62672:2018
Using IEC TR 62672:2018 in compliance workflows helps reduce uncertainty when evaluating HVDC system performance, especially for long-life infrastructure where downtime, maintenance planning, and failure risk have operational and financial impact. A documented approach to reliability and availability evaluation supports quality assurance, testing consistency, and engineering validation across project phases. It can also improve procurement decisions by giving stakeholders a clearer basis for comparing technical submissions and preparing conformity assessment records for critical electrical transmission assets.
