    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a recloser control that detects islanding based on a continuous analysis of frequency and rate of change of frequency. For example, a recloser control may include protection circuitry that is communicatively coupled to a recloser. The recloser control may receive measurements of an electrical characteristic in an electric power delivery system. The recloser control may determine frequency (F) and a rate of change of frequency (ROCOF) based on the received measurements. The recloser control may detect islanding of a microgrid in the electric power delivery system based at least in part on F and ROCOF. The recloser control may send a signal to the recloser to trip the recloser based on the islanding of the microgrid.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a recloser control that provides autosynchronization of a microgrid to an area electric power system (EPS). For example, a recloser control may include an output connector that is communicatively coupled to a recloser at a point of common coupling (PCC) between the area EPS and the microgrid. The recloser control may include a processor that acquires a first set of measurements indicating electrical characteristics of the area EPS and acquires a second set of measurements indicating electrical characteristics of the microgrid. The recloser control may send synchronization signals to a microgrid controller to synchronize the microgrid controller based on the first set of measurements and the second set of measurements.
