“…Affects PQ but within limits [27] No NDZ -0.15s Affects PQ [28] NDZ exists -0.16s Larger PQ issues when NDZ is reduced An effective islanding detection scheme should satisfy the following criteria: i) Identify islanding occurrences across a diverse range of operational scenarios; ii) Discriminate between islanding and nonislanding events; iii) Quick detection time (< 2 seconds) is desirable; iv) Compatible with other existing DGs; and v) Simple and cheap in implementation. Therefore, a simple and robust islanding detection method with minimum detection time is inevitable in GSDGs.…”

The penetration of grid integrated distributed generation (DG) in the present decade, has benefited rural communities, the environment, and the power sector. These renewable power sources based DGs could eliminate the need of extensive transmission networks, especially in remote areas, reduce emissions and improve power supply reliability. A significant drawback of grid integrated DG systems is the islanding of DG units, which puts workers' safety at risk and raises the possibility of damaging electrical infrastructure. Therefore, islanding detection techniques are used to reduce the danger associated with islanded functioning of DG units. Fast detection, small non detection area and less power quality disturbance are the major requirements of any islanding detection method. To address this issue of islanding, researchers have proposed various islanding detection strategies. This paper compares various q-axis controller-based islanding identification approaches: sub-harmonic perturbation (SHP), complementary reactive power perturbation (CRPP), and even harmonic perturbation (EHP). In all three proposed methodologies, the perturbations introduced result in frequency deviations surpassing the predefined threshold values. But the time of islanding detection is least in the CRPP approach. CRPP can also drift the total harmonic distortion (THD) beyond the corresponding threshold in an appreciable way. The performance of these (Islanding detection methods) IDMs is evaluated through simulations using MATLAB-Simulink on a PV fed DG. The efficacy of the comparative analysis is ensured with necessary waveforms.
