Abstract

In this paper, transient response of the microgrid caused due to unintended switching events and faults have been investigated in distributed generation (DG) system. The proposed technique is based on two new criteria transient index value (TIV) and positive sequence superimposed current angle at point of common coupling. The proposed method utilizes three phase voltage signals at DG end to compute the TIV. The performance of the proposed integrated approach has been evaluated on a sample test system and a practical distribution network consisting of combined heat and power plant, wind turbine generators, and photovoltaic system. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed technique exhibits high reliability and leads to faster detection of islanding condition as compared to the existing passive islanding detection methods not only for zero active and reactive power mismatch conditions, but also for transient events caused due to nonlinear loads.
