Abstract

The present invention discloses a passive islanding to grid-connection switching method for a VSC HVDC transmission system. When the VSC HVDC transmission system in an island operation state, whether the VSC HVDC transmission system enters an grid-connection state is determined by detecting whether an overcurrent phenomenon has occurred in a converter valve-side three-phase alternating-current or a converter bridge arm current, and detecting a change status of an alternating-current side voltage. The system is controlled to switch from an island operation control mode to a grid-connection control mode. At a moment of switching, the online control mode is smoothly switched to by changing a power instruction and performing phase tracking on a current grid voltage, so that continuous operation of the system is maintained.
