This article proposes a new passive islanding detection technique for inverter-based distributed generation (DG) in microgrids based on local synchrophasor measurements. The proposed method utilizes the voltage and current phasors measured at the DG connection point (point of connection, PoC). In this paper, the rate of change of voltages and the ratio of the voltage and current magnitudes (VoI index) at the PoC are monitored using micro-phasor measurement units. The developed local measurements based decentralized islanding detection technique is based on the VoI index in order to detect any kind of utility grid frequency fluctuations or oscillations and distinguishing them from islanding condition. The simulation studies confirm that the proposed scheme is accurate, robust, fast, and simple to implement for inverter-based DGs.

Abstract In distributed generation (DG) systems, the rate of change of voltage and the rate of change of frequency are the two most common and widely used simple and low-cost passive islanding detection schemes. Unfortunately, these passive islanding detection schemes find limitation for detecting the islandings that cause very small power imbalance. In this paper, an improved passive islanding detection scheme is proposed by using the two newly derived indices from the sequence components of the current signal with the conventional voltage and frequency parameters. The performance of the proposed scheme is tested for numerous islanding and non-islanding cases generated on IEEE Std 399–1997 and IEC microgrid model distribution system integrated with both inverter-interfaced and synchronous DGs through PSCAD/EMTDC. The obtained results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.

Distributed Generation (DG) has changed the power generation system to small-scale instead of large-scale generation. The demanding issue with the interconnection of DG is the detection of unintended islanding in a network. Several methods proposed in the literature show drawbacks such as high non-detection zones (NDZ) and higher tripping time. In this paper, the IEEE 13 bus distribution network with DGs like wind and solar power plants is integrated at two buses. Islanding is detected by utilizing data from a micro-synchrophasor located at the distribution grid and the DG. The micro-synchrophasor-based unintended islanding detection algorithm is based on parameters such as voltage, rate of change of voltage, frequency, rate of change of frequency, voltage phase angle difference and the rate of change of the voltage phase angle difference between the utility and the islanded grid. The proposed islanding detection algorithm discriminates between islanding and non-islanding conditions and is highly efficient under zero power mismatch conditions. The proposed method has null NDZ and satisfies the IEEE 1547 standard for DG tripping time. The effectiveness of the proposed IDM was verified when there are multiple DGs in the islanded grid. Also, the proposed method does not require additional hardware as it can be incorporated in digital relays with synchrophasor functionality.
