Abstract

Power Conditioning System (PCS) in the photovoltaic system requires reliable islanding detection function (passive or active) in order to know electrical grid status and operate the grid connected inverter properly. This paper proposes a passive islanding detection algorithm based on the grid harmonic components. It utilizes the fact that the equivalent harmonic components at the point of common coupling (PCC) are changed according to the grid connection status. This method shows reduced Non-Detection Zone (NDZ) and fast detection time compared to the conventional approach. The mathematical modeling is performed and verified by experimental result using high performance DSP controller
