High-voltage direct-current (HVDC) power transmission is becoming increasingly important due to steadily rising need for bulk power delivery and interconnected power transmission and distribution systems. DC grids are vulnerable to dc faults, which lead to a rapid rise in dc fault currents. The dc f...
