With the increasing applications of high‐voltage direct current inverters in heavy‐load grids, commutation failures (CFs) pose a severe threat to the safe and stable operation of power systems. This study first sorts methods of CF inhibition into different categories and then investigates their effectiveness, adaptability and limitations. Considering the economic benefits and applicability, CF inhibition calls for integrated methods involving supplementary power devices, control strategies and prediction techniques. Finally, this study makes clear potential future research directions, suggesting first control potential is exploited by machine learning‐based control, and then auxiliary devices to be added if necessary.
