The invention relates to a hybrid direct current transmission line single-end fault distance measurement method and system, and belongs to the technical field of power system relay protection control. The method comprises the following steps: collecting a line single-end traveling wave coupling box current signal to obtain a ranging signal; calculating the frequency spectrum of a single-end ranging signal, judging whether a frequency difference stable value exists or not, if not, automatically adjusting the length of a data time window, returning to recalculate the single-end frequency spectrum, and if yes, performing fault ranging by using the frequency difference and changing the length of the time window for at least three times to obtain at most two ranging estimation results kn% which exist stably, n = 1, 2; calculating a single-end verification signal, and respectively calculating the deviation delta n% between the distance measurement estimation result and the verification signal, n = 1, 2; the deviation delta n% is compared with a verification threshold value, whether delta n% is smaller than or equal to a preset verification threshold value or not is judged, if yes, the distance measurement result is kn%, and if not, the distance measurement result is 1-kn%. The method is suitable for various complex working conditions of the hybrid direct current system, the distance measurement result is high in accuracy, high in reliability and high in robustness.
