Recently, the study of islanding phenomenon, maintains its operation even when the utility grid is removed has lead to the trend of utility interactive inverters in photovoltaic generation systems. In this paper, a novel Anti-islanding method is presented. the proposed method can keep the real average power component constant by MPPT control and cause the load current frequency with only change of reactive power component under the islanding condition. its periodical change of Reactive power component can decrease the NDZ(Non-Detective zone) so that the detection of various loads will be possible. the insufficient effect if additional reactive power component to the grid is proved theoretically and the islanding detection is also confirmed from a experimental result with a inverter for 3kW photovoltaic generation system applied the proposed Anti-islanding method.

The paper discussed various techniques for islanding detection and described in detail the working principles of ROCOF and vector shift relays. A simulator was used to investigate why the stability of both types of relays maybe affected by network and load switching, short-circuit faults and in the case of a ROCOF relay the loss of bulk generation or the tripping of a transmission feeder. Finally, to enhance the reliability of Loss of Mains protection, a new islanding detection technique based on a GPS synchronized phasor measurement system was proposed.

The utility-interactive inverter with critical loads should supply continuous and stable voltage to critical loads even during the grid fault. The conventional control method which performs current control for grid-connected mode and voltage control for stand-alone mode undergoes the critical load voltage variation during grid fault. The critical load voltage may have large transient when the inverter performs mode transfer after the islanding detection. Recently, the indirect current control method which does not have the transient state during not only islanding detection but also the mode transfer has been proposed. However, since the voltage control is maintained even during the grid-connected mode it is difficult to detect the islanding. This paper proposes an active anti-islanding method suitable for the indirect current control method which does not have NDZ(Non-Detection Zone).

계통 연계형 태양광 발전 시스템이 정전 혹은 사고 등으로 계통으로부터 분리되었을 때 태양광 발전 시스템이 배전선 부하를 떠맡아 운전을 계속하는 현상을 고립운전이라 하는데 이런 상태가 지속되면 선로 유지보수자의 안전사고를 야기할 수 있으며 전기설비에 나쁜 영향을 줄 수도 있다. 수동 검출법은 연계점(PCC:Point of Common Coupling)의 전압이나 주파수를 측정하여 한계치를 벗어나면 고립운전으로 판단하는데 RLC 부하의 유효전력과 무효전력이 각각 PV 시스템의 유효전력, 무효전력과 서로 비슷하면 검출할 수 없다. 이 경우 고립운전을 검출하기 위한 다양한 능동 검출법이 제안되었으며 가장 효과적인 방법은 미국 샌디아 연구실(Sandia National Lab)에서 제안한 SFS법(Sandia Frequency Shift method)이다. 본 논문에서는 자동 위상 이동을 이용한 새로운 능동 검출기법을 제안하고 Matlab 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 타당성을 검증하였다.

계통연계형 태양광발전 시스템(PV PCS : Photovoltaic Power Conditioning Systems)의 단독운전은 다양한 문제들을 야기 할 수 있으며, 따라서 이는 반드시 방지되어야 한다. 실제로는 단독운전이 발생할 확률이 매우 낮지만, PV PCS가 공급하는 유 무효 전력이 부하가 요구하는 유 무효 전력과 거의 일치한다면, 수동적인 방법만으로는 단독운전 검출이 힘들게 된다. AFD(Active Frequency Drift) 기법은 주파수 바이어스 방법이라고 일컬어지는 방법으로, 단독운전 상태에서 계통과 연결된 노드전압의 주파수를 강제로 빠르게 또는 느리게 하여 단독운전을 검출하는 방법이다. 본 논문에서는 최근에 들어서 PV PCS의 능동적 단독운전 검출방법으로 많이 사용되는 AFD 기법의 불검출영역을 널리 사용되는 시뮬레이션 툴(PSIM)을 사용하여 분석하였다.

This paper describes the development of a new islanding detection method for inverter-based distributed generation systems, which uses a signal cross-correlation scheme between the injected reactive current and the power frequency deviation. The proposed method injects 1% of the reactive current to the rated current which brings about a negligible degradation of the power quality. It discriminates the islanding state, when the calculated cross-correlation index is larger than 0.5. The operational feasibility was verified through computer simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software and experimental research with a hardware prototype. The proposed method can detect the islanding state without degrading the power quality at the point of common connection. Further study is required to overcome the cancellation of the injected reactive current from multiple distributed generation units interconnected with the utility grid.

Distributed generation (DG) systems fall in islanding operation when they still in operation even when the main grid is out of electric power Islanding operation is further classified into intentional islanding and unintentional islanding operations. In intentional islanding operation, the DG backs up critical loads while it separates from the main grid on islanding detection. Intentional islanding operation increases utilization of the DG system during the islanding operation. This paper proposes reasonal inverter topology and its control algorithm for seamless transfer of DG systems in intentional islanding operation.

This study proposes a new islanding detection method that uses the phase shift of feed-forward voltage and evaluates the performance of an existing method and the proposed method when the grid frequency changes within the allowable range under steady-state conditions. The investigated existing method, which is slip mode frequency shift (SMS), uses current phase shift to detect islanding. The SMS method supplies reactive current to the grid under this condition, but the proposed method does not generate additional reactive power because it does not depend on the current control loop. The performance in steady-state grid condition is evaluated through simulations and experiments.

Prevention of the islanding phenomena is one of the most important issues because it can damage electrical equipment connected to the utility system and endanger human life. It is very difficult to detect an islanding condition of a power distribution line with conventional voltage of frequency relays, while the output power and the load power of utility interactive PV inverter units are in nearly balanced state in both active power and reactive power. This paper describes the protective equipment that prevents the PV system connected to the utility grid from starting islanding. Both predictive ocntrol method and harmonic injection method are used for a current control and islanding detection for operating safety.

In this paper, discrete wavelet transform using a PV system covers how the detection of a islanding. Connection point occur exclusively in Grid when the grid voltage and current operation of the wavelet coefficients by changing features will determine if islanding operation. The proposed method has simple computation and fast decision time has the advantage. DSP-based controller through the experiment proved the validity of the proposed method.
