Abstract
Use of distributed generators in distribution networks is proved highly reliable and economical. In utility practice at the present time, accidental islanding is an undesirable mode of operation as it can harm the personnel and other connected systems. Therefore, islanding must be detected and the islanded distributed generators must be disconnected from the rest of the system. This paper proposes a new islanding detection method which provides a reliable detection in two levels. At first level wavelet energy entropy is used as an indicator to suspect islanding and activate second level method. Second level method is an active frequency drift method with positive feedback and pulsating chopping fraction that vary the output voltage frequency of distributed generators to realize the anti islanding protections. The performance of the proposed method is simulated in MATLAB environment. The proposed algorithm provides fast islanding detection with least disturbance in inverter’s grid connected operation.
