Radio frequency (RF) noise within the frequency range of 5 khz--1 MHz from high voltage direct current (HVDC) converter stations was investigated by using digital computer modeling techniques. A comprehensive impedance vs. frequency measurement program has been performed on converter transformers. Results were used to develop a transformer model for a digital computer program. A generic computer program has been developed that can calculate the RF voltages, currents, and ground level electric field strength and magnetic flux density in and around HVDC converter stations, in the 5 khz--1 MHz frequency range. The Radio Frequency Computer Analysis Program (RAFCAP) is available for a DEC VAX 11/785 computer as a production-grade program. However, since the entire program, including the user interface, is written in FORTRAN, it may not be considered as user friendly as some other EPRI sponsored computer programs. Also, a workstation version of the program for an IBM PS/2 system under the OS/2 operating system was developed.
