Seamless inverter control scheme for shore-to-ship application

Abstract

This paper proposes a general seamless control scheme of inverter for the purpose of ship-to-shore connection by means of active islanding detection method. In the proposed system, the Sandia Frequency Shift (SFS) method combined with a frequency protection scheme is used to detect the islanding instant. The SFS parameter selection is performed using a new phase criterion proposed in the literature. and implemented to add more functionality to the control algorithm.
