Abstract
Penetration of distributed generation in the power gr id is increasing. This situation leads to new possibilities but also new issues, such as anti-islanding protection. During a loss-of-mains or islanding situation, distributed generation (DG) units remain feeding a part of the electrical network without connection to the main power system. Currently, DG units have to be disconnected from the grid during islanding as soon as possible, due to potential risks for repair crews and components, poor power quality in the island and reclosing problems. A fast and reliable islanding detection method could avoid mentioned issues. Among the many existing methods, remote schemes could meet these requirements. Hence, this paper presents the operating principles of remote islanding detection methods, as well as the current state of development of communication-based remote islanding detection methods to be applied in distributed power generation systems.
