Abstract

A micro-grid (MG) is usually interconnected to the main grid through the dedicated line. Immediately after the removal of the grid supply, the MG should be disconnected and remain disconnected until the main grid is re-energized. It should detect islanding condition as soon as it happens to adjust the setting of the protection relays in the MG. This paper proposes an islanding detection algorithm for the MG based on the active and reactive power delivered to the dedicated line in the time domain. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified under islanding conditions and fault conditions using the PSCAD/EMTDC simulator. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm can discriminate the islanding conditions from the various fault conditions.
