Protocol for reporting the Operational Performance of HVDC Transmission Systems

WG 14.04, "Performance of DC Schemes", was set up to collect information on all systems in service. To establish a basis against which performance of several systems could be judged, over many years, reports have to be prepared in accordance with a standardized procedure. This paper describes the Protocol which is to be observed. Although it has been drawn up in 1997, it was included in the Technical Library in 2008 only.
