Abstract The current fault identification technique for the ultra high voltage direct current transmission system has a low success rate, the process of extracting feature qualities is complex, and it is difficult to identify high resistance grounding. This research provides a defect evaluation method for UHVDC transmission system using Deep Auto Encoder (DAE) and integrated learning. Firstly, the fault voltage signal is feature extracted using DAE, and then, a series of obtained features are feature screened by XGBoost algorithm and combined with an integrated classifier consisting of Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), K Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Random Forest (RF) classifiers to identify the UHVDC faults. Finally, ±800kV UHVDC transmission line models are established in MATLAB/Simulink simulation software to simulate different types of faults. The study’s findings demonstrate that the fault diagnostic method introduced in this research may significantly enhance the poor detection success rate of current fault diagnostics methods and is more resilient to excessive resistance.
