Composite Islanding Detection Method of Grid-Connected Photovoltaic Generation System

Abstract

Islanding detection is an important issue for grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) generation systems. The paper puts forward a new composite islanding detection method combining active current disturbance and reactive current disturbance. This islanding detection method for three-phase inverter is simulated in the Matlab/Simulink environment. Simulation results show that, when the inverter output and the load power are balanced, the new islanding detection method can detect islanding quickly with little influence on the power quality.
