The energy consumption device is mainly used in the application scenario of island power supply. If the power generation end is an inertial power source similar to wind power, when the power receiving end fails, because the power cannot be sent out, energy will be accumulated on the DC side, causing the voltage of the DC transmission line to rise. High, causing harm to the safe operation of the equipment

[0003] The commonly used technical solution in the prior art is to use power semiconductor devices, such as IGBT directly connected in series and a centralized resistance solution. The IGBT valve string is subjected to high voltage, and the concentrated resistance consumes energy. The consistency requirements for opening and closing are extremely high. Once there is inconsistency, some valve sections will be over-pressured and burned. Due to the continuous opening and closing during work, the risk of device damage is high; there are also technical solutions that propose modular solutions, but The solution has the defects of large number of components, high cost, and low reliability, such as the solution proposed in the patent CN102132484B-converter with distributed braking resistors, such as image 3 As shown, the main defect of this scheme is that the potential of the bridge arm composed of diodes in the figure is complex: the upper tube of the diode bridge arm is connected to the adjacent module, and the capacitor cannot clamp it, and when the device is running, Due to the complex operation mode, when the work between modules is not synchronized, the potential between the modules is uncertain, and the diode has the risk of overvoltage breakdown; at the same time, the number of devices in this scheme is large, including 4 groups of power semiconductor devices. The reliability of power semiconductor devices is relatively low, which makes the failure rate of the whole module higher and the cost is higher; this scheme includes two bridge arms composed of power semiconductor devices in one module, and there is a potential connection between the bridge arms. Increased the difficulty of structural design; in order to overcome the above defects, the present invention provides a solution with low cost and high reliability
