Abstract

Islanding operations of DG usually occur when power supply from the main utility is interrupted due to several reasons but the DG keeps supplying power into the distribution networks. These kinds of islanding conditions cause negative impacts on protection, operation, and management of distribution systems. Therefore, it is necessary to effectively detect the islanding conditions and swiftly disconnect DG from distribution network. This paper proposes the islanding detection algorithm for DG using the change of the voltage unbalance and the output power of DG. The proposed method effectively combines the conventional parameters for detecting the islanding conditions. The proposed methods were verified using the radial distribution network of IEEE 34 bus.
