Strategy for Suppressing Commutation Failures in High-Voltage Direct Current Inverter Station Based on Transient Overvoltage

Commutation failures in high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems often occur within inverter stations, posing challenges to the safe and consistent operation of HVDC transmission projects. This paper examines data gathered from a wide-spectrum transient electromagnetic voltage monitoring apparatus. The findings uncover a notable correlation between transient AC bus voltage disturbances, stemming from faults, and the occurrence of commutation failures in HVDC transmission systems. Leveraging this correlation, we propose a commutation failure mitigation strategy for HVDC systems centered around AC bus voltage disturbances within inverter stations. Through fault validation simulations conducted across three HVDC transmission systems, our strategy demonstrates effective suppression of commutation failure incidents within HVDC transmission projects.
