摘要：Flexible direct current (DC) grid can realize large-scale renewable energy, wide-area coordinated complementation, and reliable power transmission. It is an important development that can be used to support high-voltage and large-capacity flexible DC transmission in the future. The short-circuit current of the DC line is one of the important bases for the selection of key main equipment parameters such as converter valves, DC circuit breakers, and reactors in the flexible DC grid. In this paper, a flexible DC grid equivalent circuit network model with alternating current (AC) feed-in is established. Aiming at the monopolar ground fault of the flexible DC grid grounded through the metal loop, an optimized traditional matrix calculation method is proposed to obtain the accurate line fault current value. On this basis, with an actual engineering background, the equivalent circuit model of the four-terminal bipolar flexible DC power grid is established, and the influence of grounding position, grounding parameters, and current-limiting reactor on the fault current of the DC line is analyzed. Finally, simulation using the PSCAD software verifies the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method. The method proposed in this paper can provide the necessary bases and references for the selection of flexible DC grid equipment.
