High-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission-line protection is becoming increasingly desirable with the expanding worldwide popularity of HVDC technologies in recent years. This paper proposes a transmission-line backup protection scheme based on the integral of reactive power for HVDC systems. The directional characteristics of reactive power flow are theoretically analyzed for internal and external faults, and these characteristics are used to construct a directional protection scheme. The Hilbert transform is adopted to calculate the reactive power, which ensures a continuous output of calculation results and improves the reliability of the protection. A bipolar 12-pulse HVDC test system based on the CIGRE benchmark is modeled using PSCAD/EMTDC, and extensive simulations of various fault situations are conducted to test the effectiveness of the proposed scheme. The simulation results show that the proposed protection scheme correctly identifies internal and external faults and performs well with different fault distances and fault resistances. Furthermore, the proposed protection is insensitive to the sampling frequency, making it practical for future applications.
