A New Active Method for Islanding Detection Based on Traveling Wave Theory

Abstract

In this paper, a new active method based on traveling wave theory for islanding detection is presented. A standard power grid that combines a distributed generation source and local loads is used to test the proposed method. Simulations are carried out in MATLAB/Simulink and EMTP/rv which demonstrate fast response and zero non-detection zone (NDZ) of the method along with low perturbation.
