Abstract

A leakage current of ESS is classified mainly by the occurrence from a PCS(Power Conditioning System) section and an unbalanced grid current. The reason for the leakage current from the PCS section is a voltage change by IGBT (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) switching and stray capacitance between the IGBT and heatsink. The leakage current caused by the grid unbalanced current flows to the ESS through the neutral line of grid-connected transformer for the ESS with a three limb iron type of Yg-wire connection. This paper proposes a mechanism for the occurrence of leakage current caused by stray capacitance, which is calculated using the heatsink formula, from the aspect of the PCS section and grid unbalance current. Based on the proposed mechanisms, this study presents the modeling of the leakage current occurrence using PSCAD/EMTDC S/W and evaluates the characteristics of leakage currents from the PCS section and grid unbalanced current. From the simulation result, the leakage current has a large influence on the battery side by confirming that the leakage current from the PCS is increased from 7[mA] to 34[mA], and the leakage current from an unbalanced load to battery housing is increased from 3.96[mA] to 10.76[mA] according to the resistance of the housings and the magnitude of the ground resistance.

ESS의 누설전류는 PCS(Power Control System)측 누설전류와 계통불평형 전류로 인한 누설전류로 구분되는데, PCS측의 누설전류는 정상 상태 운전 시, IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor) 스위칭의 전압 변화량과 IGBT와 방열판 사이에 존재하는 기생 커패시턴스에 의해 발생한다. 또한, 계통불평형 전류에 의한 누설전류는 불평형 부하로 인해 발생한 불평형 전류가 Yg-∆ 결선방식의 3각 철심이 적용된 태양광전원 연계형 변압기의 중성선을 통해 ESS로 유입된다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 방열판 유도공식을 통해 산정한 기생 커패시턴스에 의하여 PCS측의 누설전류 발생 메커니즘을 제시하고 또한, 계통불평형에 의한 ESS측의 누설전류 발생 메커니즘을 제안한다. 이를 바탕으로, 배전계통 상용해석 프로그램인 PSCAD/EMTDC를 이용하여 배터리부, PCS부, AC전원부로 이루어진 PCS측의 누설전류 발생 메커니즘과 배전 계통부, 불평형 부하부, ESS부로 이루어진 계통불평형에 의한 ESS측의 누설전류 발생 메커니즘을 모델링하고, 누설전류의 특성을 평가한다. 상기의 모델링을 바탕으로 시뮬레이션을 수행한 결과, 외함의 저항과 접지저항의 크기에 따라 PCS측의 누설전류는 7[mA]에서 34[mA]로, 계통불평형에 의한 배터리 외함으로 흐르는 누설전류는 3.96[mA]에서 10.76[mA]로 증가하여 배터리측에 큰 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.
