INTRODUCTION

● Islanding is a condition in which a portion of the utility system that contains both load and DG is
isolated from the remainder of the utility system and continues to operate independently .

● The unintentional islanding can lead to power quality problems, interference with grid protection
devices, serious equipment damage and even safety hazards to utility operation personnel.

● Passive methods are based on the measurement parameters obtained locally to verify whether the
DG is connected to the grid or not.
ABSTRACT

The modern power system equipments may exhibit nonlinear operational characteristics may
contaminate the voltage and current waveforms at point of common coupling.Under such conditions the
conventional islanding detection schemes may not give accurate results.In this paper, sequence
component based passive islanding detection is developed for inverter based DG under unbalanced and
nonlinear loading conditions.

The proposed algorithm is tested on a 13 bus standard distribution system for such conditions.This
method reduces the complexity,hence easy to implement in power systems for anti-islanding protection.
 PROBLEM STATEMENT
● We have proposed a passive islanding detection approach based on the symmetrical component analysis of
the voltage signal measured at PCC. The voltage signal is analyzed using the symmetrical component
analysis to estimate the negative and zero sequence value .
● After islanding, the negative and zero sequence voltage values exceed more than their corresponding
threshold within one to two cycles and then islanding can be suspected.
● To improve the robustness of the proposed scheme, it waits up to three cycles before giving the trip signal
for islanding.
● The proposed technique is validated for various power mismatch conditions between the DG and the local
load. In case of zero power mismatch condition, the active and reactive power required by the load is
completely supplied by the DG. Such condition represents the hardest detectable islanding case.
LITERATURE REVIEW

Review of islanding detection methods for distributed generation

Paper describes and compares different islanding detection techniques. Fast and accurate
detection of islanding is one of the major challenges in today’s power system with many
distribution systems already having significant penetration of DG where there are issues
with islanding. Islanding detection can be broadly divided into remote and local
techniques.Remote are from the utility side and local are from the DG side and can be
divided into passive , active and hybrid techniques.

CONCLUSION

● An islanding detection technique is replicated for inverter based distributed

generation .The proposed detection scheme is based on negative and zero sequence value
of the PCC voltage.
● The scheme is tested on a standard IEEE-13 bus distribution.
● As the scheme is able to identify the islanding condition even for perfectly matched
active and reactive power between the DG and the load.
● It can be easily implemented in micro grid protection without any computational
complexity.
