Abstract
An energy supporting device for a high voltage direct current, HVDC, transmission system includes an energy supporting device for providing grid forming and/or virtual synchronous machine, VSM, capabilities to the HVDC transmission system. The energy supporting device comprises a plurality of cells configured to be connected to the HVDC transmission system, and a cell includes a full-bridge arrangement of power switches, an energy storage device electrically connected to the full-bridge arrangement, a resistor electrically connected between the plurality of cells and an electrical reference potential, and a bypass switch configured to allow the resistor to be bypassed. The energy supporting device is configured to be operated in a dissipation mode, in which the bypass switch is in an open state for allowing the resistor to dissipate electrical energy from the HVDC transmission system, and in which the energy storage devices of the plurality of cells are bypassed.
