The connection mode of the direct current (DC) power distribution system and the alternating current (AC) system is the foundation of system design, and it is also one of key technologies of the DC power distribution network. Based on the topology structure, grounding method, main equipment parameters, load parameters and system control protection strategy of the DC power distribution system, this paper establishes the system simulation model in the case of configuring the connection transformer and not configuring the connection transformer. Simulation results show that, when no connecting transformer is installed, the interaction between AC and DC systems will be great when faults occur, and the cost of converter valves and DC reactors will be increased. When connecting transformers are installed, the interaction between AC and DC systems can be effectively isolated, and the operation reliability of the system will be greatly improved while the cost is saved. Therefore, it is recommended to configure an independent connection transformer in the DC distribution system.
