Abstract

There are two techniques to ensure that renewable energy systems run continuously: on-grid and off-grid. In the first case the system can be managed in a network, in the second case it can be managed in a micro grid or island mode. Islanding means when a distributed generator (DG) keeps running even after there is no longer any external electricity. This situation can be dangerous for utility systems because it prevents equipment from connecting properly. Therefore, this paper proposes an active method for detecting island patterns at a given time. The use of DG installations such as photovoltaics can cause islanding detection issues. In addition, the number of DG sets in the power distribution system will affect the accuracy of island detection (ISD). On a test example DC power supply linked to a 415 V, 50 Hz network, the suggested solution was put into practice. In the MATLAB Simulink environment, the proposed method's efficacy was assessed. The proposed method is compared with existing active methods and shortens the detection time.

Keywords: Active Method, Distribution Generation, Detection Time, Islanding Detection.
