An improved islanding detection algorithm based on AFDPF

Abstract

Unplanned islanding is a harmful phenomenon that will cause a series of adverse effects on the power grid. Therefore, islanding detection is a necessary feature of a microgrid with distributed power generation. Based on the Active Frequency Drift with Positive Feedback (AFDPF) algorithm, this paper proposes an improved frequency offset method.The method uses the frequency difference between two cycles to determine the direction of the disturbance signal. The value of the third power is superimposed on the point of common coupling (PCC)to improve detection speed.And check the Nondetection zone of this method based on the Qf0×Cnom coordinate system. Finally, through MATLAB/simulink simulation, the effectiveness and superiority of the improved frequency shift islanding detection algorithm are verified.
