High-integration designs aimed at increasing the energy density of energy storage systems (ESSs) increase the parasitic capacitance between the battery, chassis, and system equipment, thereby increasing the common-mode voltage (CMV) and leakage current. This paper analyzes the parasitic capacitances formed in the battery, PCS, and gridside structures, and presents an ESS-to-ground equivalent capacitance model consisting of the battery-side parasitic capacitance, the Ycapacitor of the PCS, and the grid-side parasitic capacitance. This paper analyzes the parasitic capacitances formed in the battery, PCS, and gridside structures, and presents an ESS-to-ground equivalent capacitance model consisting of the battery-side parasitic capacitance, the Ycapacitor of the PCS, and the grid-side parasitic capacitance. In addition, a carrier phase-shift technique that disperses the PWM carrier phases of parallel PCSs is proposed, and it is shown to effectively reduce the equivalent CMV. The proposed method can be implemented purely in software as a control algorithm without requiring additional hardware and provides useful design guidelines for improving the safety and EMI characteristics of large-capacity ESSs.
