Transient recovery characteristics of DC voltage are critical to analyze the stability criterion and the fault ride-through capability of voltage source converter (VSC)-based DC power systems. In this paper, the dynamic model of a flexible DC power grid was initially established, and then, the dynamic operation mechanism of the system was presented by analyzing the movement locus of the operating point when disturbances occur in the DC grid. Subsequently, the DC transient voltage limit and the DC fault clearing time were calculated in order to obtain the transient stability criterion of the DC power system. In addition, a novel voltage transient recovery control strategy was proposed by improving the droop control of the DC voltage to extend the transient stability margin of the power system. Finally, a typical multi-terminal flexible DC power grid was developed on a hardware-in-the-loop platform. The results demonstrated that the voltage recovery ability of the DC power system can be quantitatively estimated by the stability criterion, while the system transient stability can be improved by the proposed control strategy.
