Protection strategy for multi-terminal DC networks with fault current blocking capability of converters [PDF]
High voltage dc networks are a promising technology to flexibly transmit power over long distances. However, dc grid protection is still a major challenge. DC fault clearance can be mainly achieved with three devices. These are ac circuit breakers (ACCBs)

A comprehensive review of DC fault protection methods in HVDC transmission systems
High voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission is an economical option for transmitting a large amount of power over long distances. Initially, HVDC was developed using thyristor-based current source converters (CSC).

A Series-Type Hybrid Circuit Breaker Concept for Ultrafast DC Fault Protection
A new series-type hybrid circuit breaker (S-HCB) concept for dc fault protection is reported that is fundamentally different from other prior-art hybrid circuit breakers (HCB) or solid-state circuit breakers (SSCB) in the literature.

Progressive fault isolation and grid restoration strategy for MTDC networks [PDF]
A multi-terminal dc (MTDC) grid has a number of advantages over traditional ac transmission. However, dc protection is still one of the main technical issues holding back the expansion of point-to-point dc links to MTDC networks.
