Abstract

The many different islanding detection methods for anti-islanding protection in power system are discussed. Passive, active and remote techniques are reviewed. Most of the ldquoactive methodsrdquo discussed are developed for photovoltaic (PV) as a distributed energy resource. Some recent methods can be use for any type of distributed generation. A final comparison of active islanding detection methods is presented later in this paper.
