Abstract
A method for fault positioning and recovery of a voltage source converter includes following steps. Locking a converter station when it is detected that an alternating-current voltage contains a zero sequence voltage or a direct-current voltage contains an unbalanced voltage. Positioning a fault by continuing to detect the zero sequence voltage of an alternating-current side of the converter. Recovering operation of each station after the fault is positioned. The method for fault positioning and recovery is simple, practical, has high reliability, and can effectively detect the problems that each station contains a zero sequence voltage of an alternating-current side and cannot easily position a fault caused due to transmission of the zero sequence voltage of the alternating-current side to an opposite-side alternating-current system via a voltage source converter.
