Evaluation of anti-islanding schemes based on nondetection zone concept

摘要

This paper present a nondetection zone (NDZ) as a performance index to evaluate different anti-islanding schemes. The NDZ for three basic passive anti-islanding schemes: under/over voltage, under/over frequency, and phase jump are derived analytically and validated by simulation. Based on the NDZ, not only can the dominant factors that influence anti-islanding protection be identified, it may also help find out optimal combined schemes that lead to a reduced NDZ. The methodology presented in the paper can be extended to evaluation of other anti-islanding schemes.
