【 摘 要 】

HVDC transmission has become the most valuable engineering technology because of its own advantages. But the rapid detection and isolation of DC side faults has been one of the major technical matters in the development of DC grids. Highvoltage DC circuit breaker is an important equipment to solve this problem, and becomes the current research hotspot. According to the process of HVDC breaker, this paper analyzes the fault detection and current limiting control of HVDC breakers, and proposes a fault detection method based on ROCOV (Rate Of Change Of Voltage) and a current limiting strategy of operation of arresters by sequence. It can reduce the operation time of the circuit breaker and the peak value of the fault current. Finally, simulation analysis is performed on the PSCAD/EMTDC to verify the correctness of the method.
