“…The line section with none zero current was considered as a closed line. Using the procedure explained in Section 2, the calculated [TCM]18 × 18 is shown in Equation (14) for the test distribution network. To extract the number of bus-bars and corresponding Islands, the procedure, which is depicted in Figure 6, was applied on the calculated topology connection matrix.…”

“…The RDMs employ a communication pattern between DG units and the main grid to alert and disconnect the DG units once unintentional islanding occurs. The Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) detection method provides more control signals to control DG units, as well as detection speed dependent on the system characteristics [8,14,21,22]. Power Line Carrier Signaling (PLCS) is applicable for both DG types, and uses the existing electrical network as a path for signaling.…”

Distribution systems can form islands when faults occur. Each island represents a subsection with variable boundaries subject to the location of fault(s) in the system. A subsection with variable boundaries is referred to as an island in this paper. For operation in autonomous mode, it is imperative to detect the island configurations and stabilize these subsections. This paper presents a novel scheme for the detection of island boundaries and stabilizing the system during autonomous operation. In the first stage, a boundary detection method is proposed to detect the configuration of the island. In the second stage, a dynamic voltage sensitivity factor (DVSF) is proposed to assess the dynamic performance of the system. In the third stage, a wide area load shedding program is adopted based on DVSF to shed the load in weak bus-bars and stabilize the system. The proposed scheme is validated and tested on a generic 18-bus system using a combination of EMTDC/PSCAD and MATLAB software's.

“…This method suffers from a misinterpretation of an islanding event due to changes in the harmonic conditions triggered by sudden removal or addition of nonlinear loads to the systems. This constraint of THD based detection technique leads to use voltage unbalance as an islanding detection parameter in combination with THD [18].…”

This paper provides an analytical survey of the islanding detection techniques for the distributed generation systems. Islanding phenomena on takes place when the power supply from the main utility is intermittent due to numerous reasons, but the distributed generation keeps supplying power into the distribution networks. Islanding can be dangerous to workers and electrical equipment, even the power grid. Therefore, islanding detection is the priority among priorities. Islanding detection is a precondition of two working modes switching for distributed generation. In this paper, a detailed description followed by the classification of the islanding detection techniques has been made based on features, such as detection time, size of non-detection zone, power quality disturbances, system cost and operation under multiple distributed generation units. The merits and demerits of islanding detection methods are analyzed and summarized in this paper. In this manner, the greatest detection outcome can be achieved by exploiting the merits of each method. This paper is aimed to serve as a convenient reference and guidance value for deciding the islanding detection method for future islanding users in distributed generation system.
