With the rapid development of ultra-high-voltage (UHV) AC/DC, especially the step-by-step upgrading of the UHV DC transmission scale, security presents new challenges. Commutation failure (CF) is a common fault in line commutated converter (LCC) high-voltage direct current (HVDC) power systems. Once failure happens, it may cause power oscillations in a system. In this paper, taking a two-area AC/DC parallel interconnected power system as the example, based on the impulse response model of second-order linear system, the mechanism of power oscillation on the AC tie-line caused by CF are clarified. It is proved that the peak value of the AC tie-line power oscillation is mainly determined by the DC power and the equivalent CF duration, the frequency and damping ratio of dominant area oscillation mode. Meanwhile, the peak time is mainly determined by the oscillation frequency. Finally, the correctness and effectiveness of the algorithms are verified by a simulation analysis of an extended IEEE-39-bus AC/DC parallel interconnected power system. These research results can provide a basis for the arrangement of the operating modes and the formulation of control measures for interconnected power grids.
