An arc is a discharge phenomenon of a flash which is generated from an insulator and accompanied by a burnout of an electrode. The generation of an arc varies from an instant to a long period of time. The magnitude of the energization current and the arc duration Element. Arc flaws can cause temperatures above 1,000 degrees Celsius, even at small currents, so the firing point area of a typical PVC wire insulator is around 250-450 degrees Celsius, resulting in direct fire and deterioration of the insulation.
The types of arc are largely divided into parallel arc, ground arc, and serial arc. Parallel arcs are also known as line-to-line arcs, and power cord lines that continuously and repetitively bend like cord lines wound on the hair dryer's outlet connection or storage of the toaster, and the damaged power source It is likely to occur in code. A ground arc is a case where the insulation of a wire insulator is weakened by external influences such as nails and it is caused by a surge voltage, even if an insulation accident does not occur immediately. A series arc connects a wire and an outlet It occurs mainly in the connection part of an outlet where excessive force is applied to the bolt used for connection in the process of fixing, and when the insulator deteriorates due to contact failure, it is enlarged to the parallel arc.
Arc flaws are inevitable part in the use of electric equipment and electric equipment. Electric fires due to arc welding are stealthy, so sudden fire occurs in electric equipment and devices that are used everyday. It may be different, but it will appear someday, and there are characteristics that occur in the old facilities as well as the new facilities.
The arc will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG.
3 shows a typical waveform when an arc is generated. Referring to FIG. 3, when an arc is not generated, the current and the voltage have pure DC components, but when an arc is generated, they have frequency components of several tens kHz or more. Therefore, the
4 (a) shows a steady-state waveform. This is the operating characteristic of the inverter and it has frequency components below 1kHz.
(b) shows the waveform when an arc is generated. When an arc occurs, the inverter has a waveform with a high frequency of several kHz to several tens of kHz.

5 is a flow diagram illustrating a method for an energy storage system to diagnose and process an arc in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 5, the BMS measures the voltage and current of the battery (S502), analyzes the measured voltage and current (S504), and determines whether or not an arc is generated (S506). That is, the BMS measures the current signal and the voltage signal through the sensor unit connected to the battery. Then, the BMS converts a voltage signal having the same phase as the measured current signal into a frequency component, extracts remaining arc components excluding the fundamental frequency component of the current signal, and calculates the number of pulses input per cycle of the arc component The width of the pulse recognizes the occurrence of an arc.
If it is determined in step S506 that an arc has occurred, the BMS determines whether the relay is in a close state (S508).
If it is determined in step S508 that the relay is closed, the BMS determines that an arc has occurred in the storage system in step S510, turns off the inverter of the PCS in step S512, and opens the relay in step S514. If the relay is in the closed state, it means that current flows between the battery and the PCS. If the relay is opened when the current is flowing, the inverter may be turned off because fusion may occur by itself, And then open the relay.
If it is determined in step S508 that the relay is not in the closed state, the BMS determines that relay fusion has occurred (S516), and turns off the inverter of the PCS (S518). That is, the energy storage system is connected by a number of DC lines, and arcing of DC means that the risk factor is now generated, so the inverter must be shut down.
Through the above process, the BMS can determine whether an arc has occurred in the energy storage system or a relay fusion has occurred. Basically, if an arc occurs when the relay is open, the relay is welded. If the arc is generated when the relay is closed, it can be determined that an arc has occurred in the ESS.
Thus, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics thereof. It is therefore to be understood that the embodiments described above are to be considered in all respects only as illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the detailed description and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents are to be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention do.
