Review Of Islanding Detection Methods For Distribution Generation

Abstract

In order to meet global energy demand, the use of alternative energy sources in daily life is increasing. Distribute generation (DG) plays an important role in smart grid. They suffer mainly from island location problems. This paper presents the evaluation of different methods and parameters for effective island tracking in smart grids. Island detection methods are basically distinguished into passive, Active and hybrid. The merits and demerits of existing methods and their applications are described.
