Firstly, the inventive concept of the energy leakage device provided by the embodiment of the invention is introduced:
no matter what the prior art usually adopts the protection elements with fixed and unchangeable parameters and performance to realize the energy leakage of the overvoltage, or the energy leakage through the controllable lightning arrester, the normal operation of the power grid is ensured by timely releasing the overvoltage in the power grid from the viewpoint of releasing the overvoltage in the power grid.

In addition, after the control module 102 is turned on, if the absorbed energy of the fixed energy leakage element 101 exceeds the limit value, the direct current control energy-saving device sends an energy out-of-limit signal to the energy leakage device 10. The energy dump device 10 latches the VSC upon receiving the energy violation signal and controls the protection module 104 to conduct. The overvoltage is then released by the protection module 104, so that the bleeder device 10, the VSC equipment, both safely pass the fault period. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 14, a schematic diagram of the energy absorption process of the energy discharging device 10 when a fault occurs in a certain converter station is shown.
