A New Islanding Detection Method Based On Wavelet-Transform And Ann For Inverter Assisted Distributed Generator, Zhengyuan Guan

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering

Nowadays islanding has become a big issue with the increasing use of distributed generators in power system. In order to effectively detect islanding after DG disconnects from main source, author first studied two passive islanding methods in this thesis: THD&VU method and wavelet-transform method. Compared with other passive methods, each of them has small non-detection zone, but both of them are based on the threshold limit, which is very hard to set. What’s more, when these two methods were applied to practical signals distorted with noise, they performed worse than anticipated.

Thus, a new composite intelligent based method is presented …
