Abstract
Faults on the alternating current (AC) transmission lines could cause commutation failures of nearby line-commutated converter-based high-voltage direct-current (LCC-HVDC) systems, which in turn, may challenge the fault detection of AC systems. To address this issue, this paper proposes a fast fault detection method based on instantaneous active power and fault variation component to alleviate the impacts of commutation failures and reactive power compensation while mitigating the dead zone problem. Upon that, an integral-based differential protection algorithm is presented to enhance reliability. Simulations are carried out on a real hybrid AC/DC system in North China with different fault locations and resistances to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Finally, we further validate the proposed method by leveraging on-site recorded fault data.
