About This Item
IEC TR 62978:2017 addresses HVDC installations - Guidelines on asset management, making it a relevant technical reference for organizations responsible for high-voltage direct current infrastructure. It is intended to support decisions around operating assets over their lifecycle, with attention to reliability, documented evaluation, and long-term technical performance. For engineering, procurement, and compliance teams, the document can help frame asset management practices in a way that supports operational consistency, risk management, and technical review of HVDC installation assets.
Purpose of IEC TR 62978:2017
The purpose of IEC TR 62978:2017 is generally to provide guidance for managing assets associated with HVDC installations in a structured and technically defensible way. In practice, this may support planning, condition assessment, maintenance strategy, and lifecycle-based decision-making for electrical equipment used in HVDC systems. The document can be useful where engineering documentation, conformity assessment preparation, and internal quality workflows need a clear reference for asset management expectations and technical validation activities.
Compliance applications of IEC TR 62978:2017
IEC TR 62978:2017 may be used during technical assessment of HVDC projects, upgrade programs, and ongoing operations where asset condition and service continuity are important. It is relevant to teams reviewing equipment performance, maintenance records, and inspection outcomes across substations, converter stations, and related HVDC system assets. The guidance can also support procurement review, regulatory preparation, and documented evaluation when organizations need to align maintenance and lifecycle planning with internal compliance workflows.
Benefits of IEC TR 62978:2017
Using IEC TR 62978:2017 can improve consistency in how asset-related decisions are made for HVDC installations. It supports safer operation by encouraging structured review of asset condition, maintenance priorities, and technical risk. It may also help reduce uncertainty in engineering validation, improve interoperability between operating teams and service providers, and strengthen preparation for conformity assessment. For procurement and asset owners, it provides a useful compliance reference for evaluating technical documentation and supporting long-term quality assurance.
