Islanding Detection Methods

Identification: “Review and Simulation Islanding detection methods – Validation on a dedicated mock-up”

Aims:

• Review of islanding detection methods used in converter
• Comparison of methods through simulation
• Validation of dynamic behavior with a dedicated test bench

Main characteristics of the test bench:

• Objective: simulate an islanding situation on an open inverter
• Test islanding algorithms with different local loads (RLC and Asynchronous machine)

Experimental bench scheme

Period: from 2014 to 2016

Sponsors: EDF

Context: Distributed generation, islanding protection

Main results:

• Comparisons of different islanding detection methods
• Experimental validation on a dedicated mock-up
