Islanding detection is a necessary function for grid connected distributed generators. Usually, islanding detection methods can be classified as two catalogues: remote detecting methods and local detecting methods. Most of them have limitation and defects when they are applied in photovoltaic power stations. Recently synchronous phasor measuring units (PMU) is proposed to be applied for islandi...

The mainly used local islanding detection methods may be classified as active and passive methods. Passive methods do not perturb the system but they have larger nondetection zones, whereas active methods have smaller nondetection zones but they perturb the system. In this paper, a new hybrid method is proposed to solve this problem. An over/undervoltage (passive method) has been used to initia...

Islanding detection is one of the indispensable protection detections for grid-connected inverters. The detection of islanding is the key factor that should be considered in the analysis of grid-connection security. The non-detection zone is the performance index of anti-islanding plan. According to the phase feature, to make quantitative analyses to the nondetection zone of several frequency d...

This paper presents the results of a research project dealing with the development of an adjustable converter for the injection of power generated by low voltage energy sources (primarily fuel cells used for decentral cogeneration of electric and thermal energy) into the public grid. The converters principle of operation is explained; measurements demonstrate the performance of the converter in...

The islanding methods are classified in terms of the islanding principle and the distributed Generation (DG). Islanding detection techniques are mainly divided into three types for distribution systems: Remote, local and communication based techniques. Passive methods are based on the information available on the DG site at the point of common coupling (PCC) with the utility grid. A new approac...

Identification of intentional and unintentional islanding situations of dispersed generators (DGs) is one of the most important protection concerns in power systems. Considering safety and reliability problems of distribution networks, an exact diagnosis index is required to discriminate the loss of the main network from the existing parallel operation. Hence, this paper introduces a new island...

a critical protection requirement for grid connected distributed generators (dg) is anti-islanding protection. in this paper, a new islanding detection method for any possible network loading is proposed based on utilizing and combining various system parameter indices. in order to secure the detection of islanding, eight intentional disturbances are imposed to the system under study in which t...
