A fuzzy rule based approach for islanding detection in grid connected inverter systems

Abstract

Islanding is when an area of the electrical distribution system is isolated from the electrical system while being powered by distributed generators. An important condition for the interconnection of power plants and distribution systems is the ability of the power plant to detect islands. The presented and proposed method is a combination of best active sandia frequency shift (SFS) method with the intelligent fuzzy logic controller, which has been tested in distributed production using the island detection function. And the choice to improve the method by fuzzy logic control (FLC) is retained, as this process is more effective in decreasing the non-detection zone (NDZ) and in further improving the efficiency of the islanding detection system. This paper proposes a new active islanding detection technique controlled by a fuzzy logic controller, for grid connected photovoltaic (PV) inverters. In addition, the efficiency and performance of the proposed method strategy for islanding detection has been analyzed and tested in the various situations of the network. In addition, the results of the simulations with the power simulation (PSIM) software will be provided to illustrate the main conclusions and the development of the control. Thus, will be used to show the feasibility and validity of the proposed new algorithm.
