TC 115 - High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission for DC voltages above 100 kV
Standardization in the field of HVDC Transmission technology above 100kV. The task includes HVDC system oriented standards as design aspects, technical requirements, construction and commissioning, reliability and availability, and operation and maintenance. Standards of HVDC equipment so far related to the system aspects will be prepared in close collaboration with the relevant Technical Committees and Subcommittees.
Transport en Courant Continu Haute Tension (CCHT) pour des tensions continues supérieures à 100 kV
Normalisation dans le domaine de la technologie du transport en courant continu haute tension au dessus de 100 kV. Cette activité englobe les normes couvrant les aspects système des courants continus haute tension tels que les aspects de conception, les exigences techniques, la construction et la mise en service, la fiabilité et la disponibilité, ainsi que le fonctionnement et l'entretien. Les normes relatives aux équipements à courant continu haute tension dans la mesure où elles sont relatives à des aspects système seront développées en étroite collaboration avec les comités techniques et sous comités techniques pertinents.

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
