METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR HANDLING DIRECT-CURRENT SIDE LINE FAULT OF VOLTAGE SOURCE CONVERTER

The invention provide a method and device for handling a DC-side line fault of a voltage source converter, wherein the voltage source converter is arranged at a rectifier end or an inverter end of any DC pole of a DC transmission system, and the rectifier end and the inverter end are connected through a DC line. The fault handling method comprises: acquiring a normal value of a DC voltage reference value of the voltage source converter; setting a DC current limiting target value of the voltage source converter; acquiring a DC current limiting control output value based on a DC current measured value and the DC current limiting target value; setting a DC voltage reference value of the voltage source converter based on the normal value of the DC voltage reference value and the DC current limiting control output value; setting the DC current limiting target value to be zero when a DC side line fault is detected; and rising the DC voltage reference value of the voltage source converter in response to end of de-ionization, and changing the DC current limit target value of the voltage source converter.
