[0026] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described in this application are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the spirit of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] like Figure 1 or Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a valve tower for an ultra-high voltage direct current (UHVDC) energy dissipation device, comprising: a positive energy dissipation valve tower 1, a negative energy dissipation valve tower 2, and a connecting pipe bus 3 connecting the positive energy dissipation valve tower 1 and the negative energy dissipation valve tower 2. The positive energy dissipation valve tower 1 and the negative energy dissipation valve tower 2 are arranged symmetrically in a straight line, thereby reducing the footprint of the DC field energy dissipation valve tower. The positive energy dissipation valve tower 1 and the negative energy dissipation valve tower 2 are designed as mirror images, including an insulating support structure 4 and a multi-layer valve switch structure 5. The valve layers are designed as multiple valve sections arranged symmetrically on both sides, with the left and right valve sections arranged back-to-back. Each valve tower layer is connected in a U-shaped manner, which effectively reduces the number and type of connecting pipe busbars or busbars, simplifies the structure, and reduces the manufacturing cost of the energy dissipation device.

[0028] The positive electrode energy consumption valve tower 1 and the negative electrode energy consumption valve tower 2 both adopt the "top in and bottom out" wiring form, and the connecting pipe mother 3 is installed horizontally to connect the "bottom out" wiring terminals of the positive electrode energy consumption valve tower 1 and the negative electrode energy consumption valve tower 2.

[0029] The insulating support structure 4 is arranged at the bottom of the valve tower. The insulating support structure 4 includes: post insulators and oblique insulators. The post insulators and oblique insulators are connected by hinges, thereby improving the stability of the support structure.

[0030] The multi-layer valve switch structure also includes interlayer support insulators and metal structural parts. The interlayer support insulators raise the layer structure of the valve tower in sequence to ensure electrical insulation and creepage design between layers; a valve layer maintenance platform is set in the middle of the valve layer to facilitate personnel installation and maintenance operations.

[0031] The valve section structure, consisting of a valve section support structure and multiple power modules, can be hoisted as a whole, shortening valve tower construction time. The valve section support structure is external to the power module, which is equipped with a power module hub. A metal beam and multiple insulating beams are bolted together to form the valve section support structure. Slide rails are installed on the insulating beams, aligning with the power module hubs. This allows the power module to be retracted, facilitating subsequent replacement while also securing the module.

[0032] All power modules in the positive electrode energy-consuming valve tower 1 and the negative electrode energy-consuming valve tower 2 adopt a series structure.

[0033] The insulating beam is fixed with an optical fiber groove, which can shorten the wiring distance to the maximum, effectively utilize the space and beautify the valve tower.

[0034] Optical fibers that provide communication to the power modules are laid in the optical fiber slots.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, ordinary technicians in the relevant field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention can still be modified or replaced by equivalents, and any modifications or equivalent replacements that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
