Popis: High-resistance clamping grounding is a common grounding mode of modular multilevel converter (MMC) based DC distribution network. Due to the current limiting function of grounding resistor, pole-to-ground fault can only cause limited steady-state fault current. Consequently, it is very difficult to locate fault section. Besides, there are a few research works on pole-to-ground fault recovery strategy of a DC distribution system. This study purposes a fault criterion based on DC pole-to-ground voltage amplitude and changing rate. Then, by extracting polarities of a DC feeder current travelling wave using the method of wavelet transform modulus maximum, a rapid fault section locating method is presented. Furthermore, a feasible pole-to-ground fault recovery strategy is introduced, which can reduce outage range and time on the premise of guaranteeing system stability. The performances of the proposed methodologies were validated by numerical simulation.
