Abstract:
A device is disclosed for detecting an islanding condition in an electricity distribution network, by receiving a signal of the electricity distribution network, and determining an islanding condition based on the received signal. The device determines a voltage total harmonic distortion change parameter for each phase component in the received signal, determines a voltage unbalance change parameter in the received signal, compares each of the voltage total harmonic distortion change parameters and the voltage unbalance change parameter to respective triggering conditions, and concludes an islanding condition to have been detected when the voltage total harmonic distortion change parameter for each phase component of the signal and the voltage unbalance change parameter fulfill their respective triggering conditions.
Abstract:
A device for detecting an islanding condition in an electricity distribution network. The device comprises means for concurrently monitoring an islanding condition and a network event condition in the electricity distribution network, means for detecting an islanding condition in the power system network, and means for determining on the validity of detection of the islanding condition based on whether there is an associated network event with the detected islanding condition.
