In the soft start mode, the line converter stabilizes the DC bus voltage, the outgoing line converter follows the voltage amplitude, phase and frequency of the common power supply connection bus point, the output voltage is raised from 0 to the same voltage of the common power supply connection bus point within a set time, a soft start completion and fast switching switch closing command is issued, the fast switching switch is closed, the second switching switch is closed, the outgoing line converter is stopped, and the second switching switch and the fast switching switch are disconnected. The soft stop mode stabilizes the DC bus voltage through the incoming line converter, the outgoing line converter follows the voltage amplitude, phase and frequency of the soft stop mode, the output voltage is raised from 0 to the phase voltage of the soft stop mode within a set time, a fast switching switch tripping command is sent, the fast switching switch completes tripping, the outgoing line converter lowers the output voltage to 0 within a set time, then the switching switch is cut off, and the outgoing line converter is stopped.
