The invention discloses a determination method of network side harmonic current of a high-voltage direct current power transmission system. The determination method comprises the following steps: if the harmonic current voltage at a direct current power transmission line inlet is zero, decoupling and equalizing a rectifying side and an inverting side into a plurality of independent six-pulse moving bridge units; dividing a work period of the six-pulse moving bridge units into six phase converting sections and six non-phase converting sections; calculating a phase converting overlapping angle of each phase converting section; equalizing a current converter into a harmonic current voltage source containing internal resistance; calculating the direct current side harmonic current according to the concrete forms of a smoothing reactor and a direct current filter; obtaining valve side harmonic current according to an equivalent circuit of the current converter; and converting the valve side harmonic current to a network side according to a connecting structure of a transformer to obtain the network side harmonic current. The invention considers background harmonic current and other nonideal factors, and can quickly and accurately obtain the harmonic current at the network side of a converter transformer, accelerate the period for designing an alternating current filter in the high-voltage direct current power transmission engineering and improve the design quality and the design efficiency.
