Abstract: Inrush current during charging of coupling transformer in UHV DC converter station results in converter AC bus voltage distortion and harmonics in DC system. The harmonics are dominated by second and third order harmonic. Harmonic leads to DC voltage, current and power fluctuations and especially system overvoltage, which may result in DC power system harmonic protection alarm and even action in severe cases. It affects safe and stable operation of UHV DC project. Based on practical system condition, charging inrush current and voltage harmonic characteristics of two expansion groups of 750/500 kV coupling transformers in Tianshan converter station are studied. The influence on harmonic protection of Hami-Zhengzhou ±800 kV UHV DC project is investigated and suggestions on safety measures for coupling transformers energizing are proposed. The results provide effective countermeasures to ensure safe operation of Hami-Zhengzhou UHV DC project. These results also offer useful reference and guidance for other similar projects.
