In this contribution we give a short status update of the Cigré JWG B4/B1/C4.73. This joint working group deals with investigating the surge and extended overvoltage testing of HVDC cable systems. We present a historic overview over the standardization situation for HVDC cable systems.
Epoxy resins crosslinked with acid anhydride hardeners are widely used in high voltage insulation. They have excellent dielectric, electrical and mechanical properties up to relatively high temperatures. However, neat epoxy systems exhibit low thermal conductivity and unsuitable coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) when used with metallic materials such as high voltage conductors.

To connect the different points of the network, the transmission and distribution of electric power used cables. Since few years, cables and especially their insulation part are evolving, going from paper insulation to a synthetic insulation. Nowadays, the insulation part of HVDC cables is in crosslinked polyethylene or XLPE.

Numerous High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) submarine cables have been installed in Europe and more are yet to come. Such transmission allows the trading of energy or the supply of isolated areas with almost no limitations on distance (typically 100-1000km). Interconnections such as NorNed and soon Nord Link and North Sea Link will provide a safe path for the large integration of renewable energies in northern Europe (Figure 1).

In order to ensure the energy transmission from remote production stations to load centres, it is well known that High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) presents some advantages compared to High Voltage Alternative Current (HVAC).
