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 article presents a Radial Basis Neural Network (RBNN) based islanding detection technique. Islanding detection and prevention is a mandatory requirement for grid-connected distributed generation (DG) systems. Several methods based on passive and active detection scheme have been proposed. While passive schemes have a large non detection zone (NDZ), concern has been raised on active method ...

Although active islanding detection techniques have smaller non-detection zones than passive techniques, active methods could degrade the system power quality and are not as simple and easy to implement as passive methods. The islanding detection strategy, proposed in this paper, combines the advantages of both active and passive islanding detection methods. The distributed generation (DG) inte...

Penetration of distributed generation in the power grid is increasing. This situation leads to new possibilities but also new issues, such as anti-islanding protection. During a loss-of-mains or islanding situation, distributed generation (DG) units remain feeding a part of the electrical network without connection to the main power system. Currently, DG units have to be disconnected from the g...

In this paper negative sequence components are used for islanding detection in distributed generation (DG) based system. In this approach, the negative sequence component of the voltage and current signals are analyzed through wavelet transform. The detailed coefficient d1 clearly identifies the event and thus detects the islanding condition. The change in energy and standard deviations of wave...

This study aimed to propose an intelligent islanding phenomenon detection method for a photovoltaic power generation system. First, a PSIM software package was employed to establish a simulation environment of a grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) power generation system. A 516W PV array system formed by Kyocera KC40T photovoltaic modules was used to complete the simulation of the islanding phenom...

The system response to accidental islanding and effect on anti-islanding detection of distribution feeders with multiple distributed generation (DG) technologies (synchronous machine and inverterbased units) is one major utility concern associated with increasing penetration of DG. Studies have been conducted to evaluate the performance of anti-islanding detection through use of conventional vo...

In this paper Islanding detection methods for distributed resources are reviewed. The mainly used islanding detection techniques may be classified as active and passive techniques. Passive techniques don’t perturb the system but they have larger nondetection zones, whereas active techniques have smaller nondetection zones but they perturb the system. In this paper a new hybrid method is propose...

The proposed method develops a fuzzy rule-based classifier that was tested using features for islanding detection in distributed generation. In the developed technique, the initial classification boundaries are found out by using the decision tree (DT). From the DT classification boundaries, the fuzzy membership functions (MFs) are developed and the corresponding rule base is formulated for isl...

in recent years, based on the growing importance of clean energy in comparison with conventional energy production from fossil fuels, dg systems are gradually becoming more popular all over the world. these resources solve many problem of system. however, these resources create some other problems too. one of the most problem of dgs is unwanted islanding. this paper addresses reliable passive i...
