Implementation of Passive Anti-islanding Detection Scheme for Solar PV Integrated Microgrid Network

Sujatha Balasubramanian, J. Preetha Roselyn

Abstract


Microgrids incorporated with Distributed Energy Resources (DER’s) offer various reimbursements to the electric power grid like high Power quality, Energy efficiency and reduced carbon dioxide emissions. Microgrids can be operated in grid-connected mode as well as islanding modes. The main technical problem in a microgrid is unintentional islanding, where failure to trip the microgrid may lead to serious consequences in terms of protection, reliability, voltage imbalance, and frequency fluctuation, which requires fast and effective detection of islanded mode is essential for reliable microgrid operations. This paper proposes a new Passive Anti-Islanding Protection [PAIP]including distributed generation by considering the parameters like frequency, voltage, current at the Point of Common Coupling (PCC). The proposed algorithm differentiates between the island state and non-island disturbances, such as short-circuit faults, and load switching properly, avoiding the unwanted operation of protective devices.  The performance of the algorithm has been tested in 3? grid-connected 100kW PV system under different scenarios in MATLAB /Simulink.
