Abstract

Recently, the protection coordination method of DC systems has been presented because renewable energy and distributed resources are being installed and operated in distribution systems. On the other hand, it is difficult to detect ground faults because there is no significant difference compared to a steady-state current in ungrounded IT systems, such as DC load networks and urban railways. Therefore, this paper formulates the detection principle of IMD (Insulation Monitoring Device) to use it as a protection coordination device in a DC system. Based on the signal injection method of IMD, which is analyzed by a wavelet transform, this paper presents an algorithm of detecting ground faults in a DC system in a fast and accurate manner. In addition, this paper modeled an IMD and an ungrounded DC system using the PSCAD/EMTDC S/W and performed numerical analysis of a wavelet transform with the Matlab S/W. The simulation results of a ground fault case in an ungrounded DC system showed that the proposed algorithm and modeling are useful and practical tools for detecting a ground fault in a DC system.

최근 신재생에너지 및 분산전원의 급속한 보급과 직류부하의 증가로 인하여 직류급전에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, 이에 대한 보호협조방식에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 직류급전방식을 사용하는 기존의 직류 부하망과 도시철도 등은 비접지방식인 IT 접지 시스템으로서 지락고장발생 시 고장전류의 경로가 없고, 정상상태 전류에 비하여 큰 차이가 발생하지 않기 때문에 지락고장검출이 어려운 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 절연저항측정장치(IMD : Insulation Monitoring Device)를 직류 비접지계통의 보호기기로 활용하기 위하여, IMD의 검출원리를 정식화한다. 이를 바탕으로 IMD의 신호주입방식에 의한 출력 값을 웨이블릿변환기법으로 분석하여, 사고검출을 신속하고, 정확하게 판단할 수 있는 검출알고리즘을 제안한다. 또한, 상용전력 계통해석프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여, 직류 비접지계통과 IMD를 모델링하고, MATLAB을 이용한 웨이블릿변환 수치해석모델링을 수행한다. 이를 바탕으로 직류 비접지계통의 지락사고를 해석한 결과, 본 논문에서 제안한 IMD의 사고검출 알고리즘의 유효성을 확인하였다.
