Abstract

Islanding detection and prevention are involved in tandem with the rise of large- and small-scale distribution grids. To detect islanded buses, either the voltage or the frequency variation has been considered in the literature. A modified passive islanding detection strategy that coordinates the V-F (voltage–frequency) index was developed to reduce the non-detection zones (NDZs), and an islanding operation is proposed in this article. Voltage and frequency were measured at each bus to check the violation limits by implementing the proposed strategy. The power mismatch was alleviated in the identified islands by installing a battery and a diesel generator, which prevented islanding events. The proposed strategy was studied on the three distinct IEEE radial bus distribution systems, namely, 33-, 69-, and 118-bus systems. The results obtained in the above-mentioned IEEE bus systems were promising when the proposed strategy was implemented. The results of the proposed strategy were compared with those of methods developed in the recent literature. As a result, the detection time and number of islanded buses are reduced.
