About This Item
1158-1991 is a technical standard for current (HVDC) converter stations, relevant to power, energy and industry applications. It addresses the engineering and operational characteristics of stations used to convert and control direct current in high-voltage transmission systems. By defining a common technical basis, the standard helps support consistent design, evaluation, and procurement of converter-station equipment where reliable power transfer and controlled conversion are essential.
What is 1158-1991?
1158-1991 is a specification focused on current-source HVDC converter stations and the related requirements for their electrical and functional behavior. In practical terms, it helps describe how these stations should be planned, assessed, and integrated within high-voltage power systems. The standard is useful where converter stations must operate predictably under demanding transmission conditions, with attention to performance, compatibility, and engineering consistency across equipment and system interfaces.
Where is 1158-1991 used?
This standard is typically used in HVDC transmission projects, converter-station design work, and related utility or industrial power infrastructure. It may apply during equipment selection, system studies, commissioning, and maintenance planning for installations that convert AC to DC or DC back to AC. In power and energy applications, it is relevant to engineering teams, operators, and procurement specialists working with converter stations and associated high-voltage control equipment.
Why is 1158-1991 important?
1158-1991 matters because converter stations are critical points in HVDC systems, where design accuracy and operating consistency can affect transmission performance and reliability. Using a defined standard supports better compliance checks, clearer technical communication, and more consistent procurement decisions. It can also help reduce integration risk by giving engineers a common reference for station requirements, evaluation criteria, and expected behavior in power-system applications.
