A study of islanding in utility-connected residential photovoltaic systems
TLDR
In this paper, models and methods for the analysis of this phenomenon are presented and used in a companion paper to explore the possibility of islanding in practical photovoltaic systems.Abstract:
Islanding is the continued operation of a group of utility-connected photovoltaic systems even after loss of the utility source. Such operation can be hazardous to both utility personnel as well as to components in the system. Models and methods for the analysis of this phenomenon are presented in this paper. The methods are used in a companion paper to explore the possibility of islanding in practical systems. Although all such systems have a natural propensity to island, it is shown that the controls used in many commercially available units make islanding a rather unlikely phenomenon.read more

Analysis and performance assessment of the active frequency drift method of islanding prevention
TL;DR: In this article, the active frequency drift method (AFD), also called the frequency bias method, enables islanding detection by forcing the frequency of the voltage in the island to drift up or down.

Prevention of islanding in grid‐connected photovoltaic systems
TL;DR: It is concluded that no ‘perfect’ islanding prevention method yet exists, but also that many existing methods or combinations thereof work very well in practical situations and an investigation of what constitutes ‘sufficient’ Islanding prevention is needed.
