The
energy storage type flexible
direct current converter comprises an upper bridge arm, a lower bridge arm, an
alternating current output end and a
direct current output end, the upper end of the upper bridge arm is connected with the positive
electrode of the
direct current output end, and the lower end of the upper bridge arm, the upper end of the lower bridge arm and an external
alternating current power grid or equipment are connected with the
alternating current output end. The lower end of the lower bridge arm is connected with the negative
electrode of the DC output end, one
electrode of the DC output end is grounded, and the other electrode is connected with an external DC
power grid or equipment. When the negative electrode of the direct current output end is grounded, the upper bridge arm is connected with the full-bridge sub-module and the bridge arm reactor in series, and the lower bridge arm is connected with the bridge arm reactor, the full-bridge sub-module and the
energy storage sub-module in series; when the positive electrode of the direct current output end is grounded, the upper bridge arm is connected with the
energy storage sub-module, the full-bridge sub-module and the bridge arm reactor in series, and the lower bridge arm is connected with the bridge arm reactor and the full-bridge sub-module in series. According to the method, the
overhead line power transmission channel suitable for large-scale
new energy can be constructed, and fluctuation of
new energy output can be effectively stabilized.
