A high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system is provided. The high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission system includes: a rectifier converting alternating current (AC) power into DC power; an inverter converting the DC power into the AC power; a DC transmission line transmitting, to the inverter, the DC power obtained through conversion by the rectifier; a first active power measurement unit measuring first active power input to the rectifier; a second active power measurement unit measuring second active power output from the inverter; and a first control unit detecting an abnormal voltage state on the DC transmission line based on the first and second active power measured.
