Wavelet neural network based on islanding detection via inverter‐based DG

Abstract

In this article, a passive neurowavelet based on islanding detection technique for grid‐connected inverter‐based distributed generation has been developed. Connecting distributed generator to the distribution network has many benefits such as increasing the capacity of the grid and enhancing the power quality. However, it gives rise to many problems. This is mainly due to the fact that distribution networks are designed without any generation units at that level. Hence, integrating distributed generators into the existing distribution network is not problem‐free. Unintentional islanding is one of the encountered problems. Islanding is the situation where the distribution system containing both distributed generator and loads is separated from the main grid as a result of many reasons such as electrical faults and their subsequent switching incidents, equipment failures, or preplanned switching events like maintenance. The proposed method utilizes and combines wavelet analysis and artificial neural network to detect islanding. Discrete wavelet transform is capable of decomposing the signals into different frequency bands. It can be utilized in extracting discriminative features from the acquired voltage signals. Passive schemes have a large nondetection zone (NDZ) and concern has been raised on active method due to its degrading power quality effect. The main emphasis of the proposed scheme is to reduce the NDZ to as close as possible and to keep the output power quality unchanged. The simulations results, performed by MATLAB/Simulink, shows that the proposed method has a small NDZ. Also, this method is capable of detecting islanding accurately within the minimum standard time. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Complexity 21: 309–324, 2015

A Hybrid Fuzzy Wavelet Neural Network Model with Self‐Adapted Fuzzy c‐Means Clustering and Genetic Algorithm for Water Quality Prediction in Rivers

“…Wavelet transform has a wide range of applications in the processing of complex systems due to its time-frequency localization characteristics. The WNN is better than the traditional ANN in modeling precise and convergence rates and learning memory ability and accuracy [22,23]. On the basis of the various online input variables, an ensemble modeling approach based on the wavelet analysis model was designed to forecast reservoir inflow [24].…”

Improved Reduced‐Order Fault Detection Filter Design for Polytopic Uncertain Discrete‐Time Markovian Jump Systems with Time‐Varying Delays

“…For nonlinear systems, according to the characteristics of local linearization, the characteristics of nonlinear systems can be described by using multiple linear Markovian jump systems. Many fruitful results have been extended to MJLSs, such as the filtering, and estimation problem was studied in [5], state feedback control problems were considered in [6,7], model reduction was presented in [8] for MJLSs with polytopic uncertainties, output feedback control problem was investigated in [9], stability and stabilization problems were addressed in [10], fault detection and diagnosis of MJLSs were studied in [11], and diverse control methodologies were considered in [12][13][14]. However, as an important factor governing the behaviors of MJLSs, the transition probabilities (TPs) are usually deemed to be certain and completely known, which do not change over time.…”
