Abstract This paper presents new techniques for islanding
detection in distributed generations. In the proposed approach,
the negative sequence component of the voltage and current at
the target DG location are extracted and processed using Wavelet
Transform. The detailed coefficient at the level-1 (d1) clearly
localizes the event and thus detects the islanding condition. Also
the change in energy and standard deviations of the detailed
coefficients for one cycle current and voltage signals distinguishes
islanding conditions from non-islanding ones. Also the negative
sequence impedance is calculated at the target DG location and
effectively detects the islanding conditions. The proposed
techniques are tested on islanding and possible non-islanding
conditions such as normal operation, sudden load change and
tripping of other DG etc. and found to be highly effective in
islanding detection at different target DG locations in the power
distribution network including multiple DGs.
Keywords- Change in energy, Islanding detection, standard
deviation, Negative Sequence Impedance, Wavelet Transform.
I. INTRODUCTION
Integrations of Distributed Generations (DGs) in the
distribution network is expected to play an increasingly
important role in the electric power system infrastructure and
market. As more DG systems become part of the power grid,
there is an increased safety hazard for personnel and an
increased risk of damage to the power system. Despite the
favorable aspects grid-connected DGs can provide to the
distribution system, a critical demanding concern is islanding
detection and prevention.
Islanding operation is a condition that occurs when a part of
a network is disconnected from the remainder of power system
but remains energized by DG units interconnected to the
distribution system, which normally comprises multiple DGs
with diverse technologies. Failure to trip islanded DG can lead
to a number of problems for these resources and the connected
loads, which includes power quality, safety and operation
problems. Therefore, the current industry practice is to
disconnect all DRs immediately after the occurrence of
islands [3], [4]. The disconnection is normally performed by a
special protection scheme called islanding detection relays
which can be implemented using different techniques.
Islanding detection techniques may be classified as passive
or active. Passive techniques use information available at the
DG side to determine whether the DG system is isolated from
the grid. The advantage of passive techniques is that the
implementation does not have an impact on the normal
operation of the DG system. Active techniques introduce an
external perturbation at the output of the inverter. These tend
to have a faster response and a smaller non-detection zone
compared to passive approaches. However, the power quality
(PQ) of the inverter can be degraded by the perturbation.
Different method for islanding detection techniques [1-12]
have been reported in recent years. Some of the papers
provides [2, 3] detailed review of islanding detection for DGs
in distributed networks. The islanding detection based upon
the rate-of-change of power signal [1], the rate-of-change of
voltage and change in power factor [8], the vector surge
technique [5], the rate-of-change of frequency [6], the phase-
shift method [7], the harmonic impedance estimation
technique [8] have attracted wide spread attention. The
proposed data mining technique [11] using Decision Tree
(DT) may find limitations as the thresholds depend on the
splitting criteria of the corresponding DT. Thus deciding
optimal splitting criteria is also a complex task as well. For
ROCOF relays, the rate of change of frequency is calculated
within a measurement window and used to detect islanding
operation. The ROCOF relays, however, may become
ineffective if the power imbalance in the islanded system is
less than 15%, resulting in a high risk of false detection [6].
Recently pattern recognition technique based on Wavelet
Transform [12-14] has been found to be an effective tool in
monitoring and analyzing power system disturbances
including power quality assessment and system protection
against faults. This paper investigates the time-localization
property of Wavelet transform for islanding detection by
processing negative sequence components of voltage and
current signals retrieved at the target DG location. As negative
sequence components provide vital information in case of
unbalanced conditions in power system, thus same has been
considered for the proposed islanding detection technique
which is subjected to disturbance during islanding process
such as deviations in frequency, voltage and active power etc.
The negative sequence component of the voltage and
current signals are extracted from the derived voltage and
current signal at the target DG locations. The one cycle
negative sequence voltage and current signal are processed
through Wavelet transform (db4). The time-frequency

information derived at the level-1 decompositions (d1),
localizes the corresponding islanding events. Further to
provide a threshold for detecting islanding conditions from
non-islanding ones, the standard deviations (std) and change in
energy (ce) of the d1 level coefficients for one cycle are
computed.
Further to know the impact of negative sequence impedance
in the islanding detection, the same is found out at the target
DG location. It is observed that time variation of the negative
sequence impedance provides effective islanding detection
compared to non-islanding situations. Further, the standard
deviation of the negative sequence impedance for one cycle
data, detects the islanding conditions accurately over non-
sanding ones. Thus the above two techniques based on
negative sequence components provide effective islanding
detection techniques, which has edge over some earlier
techniques.

consists of radial distribution system with 4 DG units (wind
farms), connected to the main supply system through Point of
Common Coupling (PCC). The DG units are placed at a
distance of 30 km with distribution lines of pi-sections. The

The voltage and current signals are retrieved at the target
DG location for islanding conditions and non-islanding
conditions (other disturbances). The relays for each DG units
are placed at the DG end. For example, the relay for CB_DG-1
is placed at DG-1 to collect the voltage and current
information for both islanding and non-islanding conditions.
The possible situations of islanding and non-islanding
conditions studied are given as follows
Tripping of main circuit breaker (CB) for islanding
conditions.
Opening of any breakers between the power system
and DG.
Loss of power on the PCC bus.
Sudden load change at the target DG location.
Tripping of other DGs apart from the target one.
The above conditions are simulated under possible
variations in operating loading at normal, minimum and
maximum loading conditions. The loads are varied at the DG
end as well as at the PCC. The model is simulated at 1.6 kHz
(32 samples on 50 Hz base frequency). The voltage and
current signals are retrieved at the target DG location (DG-1,
DG-4). The islanding starts at 0.3 sec as shown in the Fig. 2.
The complete simulation is carried out using Matlab-
SIMULINK software package.

Where x and y are scaling (dilation) and translation (time

implementing the discrete Wavelet Transform, which is given

, k and m being integer variables. In a standard DWT,
the coefficients are sampled from the CWT on a dyadic grid.
Associated with the wavelet is a scaling function ( ) t . The
scaling function along with the wavelet function creates a
multi-resolution analysis (MRA) of the signal. The scaling
function of one level can be represented as a sum of a scaling
function of the next finer level.

Equations (7) and (8) show that the coefficients at a coarser
level can be attained by passing the coefficients at the finer
level to their respective filters followed by a decimation of
two. This will result in the number of samples in the coarser
level to be approximately half of the number of samples at the
finer level. For a signal that is sampled at a frequency higher
than the Nyquist frequency, the samples are used as

Actual implementation of DWT involves successive pairs
of high pass and low pass filters at each scaling stage of
Wavelet Transform. This can be thought of as successive
approximations of the same function, each approximation
providing the incremental information related to a particular
scale (frequency range), the first scale covering a broad
frequency range at the high frequency end of the frequency
spectrum, however, with progressively shorter bandwidths.
Conversely, the first scale will have the highest time
resolution, higher scales will cover increasingly longer time
intervals. While in principle any admissible wavelet can be
used in the Wavelet analysis, Daubechies Wavelet (db4) is
used in this work for islanding detection.
If the used scaling function and the Wavelet function from
an orthogonal basis, then Parsevals theorem relates the energy
of the distorted signal to the energy in each expansion
coefficients and their Wavelet coefficients. This means that
the norm of energy of the signal can be partitioned in terms of
expansion coefficients. The energy of the distorted signal will
be partitioned at different resolution levels in different ways
depending on the signals to be analyzed. The Energy of the
signal is given by

(11)
The change in energy is found out by deducting the energy
content of the d1 coefficients for one cycle signal before
islanding inception from the energy content of the d1
coefficients for one cycle signal after islanding inception.
Similarly the standard deviation of the d1 coefficients for one
cycle signal is computed for detecting islanding events from
non-islanding ones. Standard deviation can be considered as a
measure of the energy for a distorted signal with zero mean
and is utilized in this work as a feature to detect the islanding
conditions from non-islanding ones.

The negative sequence voltage and currents are processed
through Wavlet Tranfrom (db4) for time localization of the
islanding event. The negative sequence current and
corresponding d1 coefficints of the current signal is shown in
Fig. 3 for islaning condition. The negative sequence volatge
and corresponding d1 coefficients are shown in Fig. 4 for
islanding condition. The d1 coefficients clearly localizes the
islanding event and thus helps in detecting the same.
The comparision between islanding and non-islanidng
conditions (normal operation) is given in Fig. 5. Similar
comaprision between islanidng and non-islanding conditions
such as sudden load change and DG line cut-off are shown in
Fig. 6 and 7 respectively. It is observed that the d1 coefficients
are highly pronounced in case of islanding compared to non-
islaning situations. In case of 50 % load change (non-
islanding) , even the d1 coefficients are highly pronounced
compared to other non-islanding situations, but still a
threshold will work to distinguish between islanding and non-
islanding conditon.

The complete statistics of the derived standard devitaions
and change in energy of the d1 coefficients are depicetd in
Table-I . It is found from the Table-I that the change in energy
is 0.1225 for islanidng conditon compared to 0.0041, 5.4797e-
004 and 0.00675 for non-islanding cases. Similar observations
are made for standard deviation for islanding conditions. The
above results are for negative sequence voltage retrieved at
target DG location DG-1. Similar observations are made for
negative sequence currents retrieved at same target DG
location DG-1 as depicted in Table-II. Thus the change in
energy and standard deviations are high valued compared to
non-islanding cases and thus effective in distinguishing them.
To verify the effect of changing target DG locations, the
change in energy and standard deviations are found out for
islanding and non-islanding situations at target DG location
DG-4. It is observed from the Table-III and IV that the change
in energy and standard deviations for islanding case are

threshold can easily be selected for detecting islanding events

B. Negativ Sequence Impedance for Islanding Detection
As negative seqence components of the volatage and
current signals at the traget DG loaction are highly
pronounced in case of islanding situations compatred to non-
islanding situations, thus the negative sequience impedance
seen at the traget DG location has been computed to detect the
islanding conditions. The negative seuqece impedance has
been one of the key indicator in distrubance conditions such as
fault process. Thus, during the islanding process, the negative
sequence impedance provides vital information which can be
effecetvely used for islanding detection. The negative
sequence impedance can be found as
n
n
n
I
V
Z =
(14)
where
n
V is the negative sequence voltage and
n
I is the
negative sequence current derived at taget DG location.
The negative sequence imepdance of the islanding versus
non-islanding conditions such as normal operation is shown in
Fig. 8. Similarly, negative sequence impedance comparision
between islanding and non-islanding conditions such as
sudden load change (non-islanding) and DG line cut-off are
shown in Fig. 9 and Fig. 10, respectively. It is found that the
negative sequence impedance becomes steady after islanding
compared to non-islanding situations.
To further provide a thershhold for islanding detection, the
standard deviations of the negative sequence imepdance for
one cycle is found out and given in Table- V and VI. It is
found that the standard deviation is 0.0152 compraed to
0.3551,0.2977,0.1336 for non-islanding cases at atrget DG
location DG-1. To furhter know the efect of changing DG
locations, the similar observations are made for standard
devtaions for negative equence impadance at target DG
location DG-4. It is seen that the standard deviation is very
low for islanding condition compared to non-islanding ones,
and thus providing a threshold effectively distinguishes the
islanding events from non-islanindg conditions. It is observed
that the negative sequence impedance is marginally affected
when the target DG location is changed. Thus the negative
sequence impedance is a potential measure for detecting
islanding conditions in distributed generations.

V. DISCUSSION

The proposed research investigates the potential of negative
sequence components of voltage, current and impedance for
islanding detection in distributed generation in power
distribution network. It is observed that the d1 coefficients of
the negative sequence current and voltage is highly
pronounced in case of islanding events compared to non-
islanding ones. But in case of 50% load change (considered as
non-islanding condition), the d1 coefficients are more close to
islanding condition compared to other non-islanding
conditions and still a threshold can separate them. But 50%
load change is one of the extreme non-islanding conditions,
where ROCOF fails to detect islanding. Thus improved results
are obtained with the proposed approach.
The second approach uses negative sequence impedance for
islanding detection. Generally, the negative sequence
impedance is one of the potential parameter for detecting
unbalanced conditions in the power systems. Thus the
potential of negative sequence impedance has been
investigated for islanding detection. It is observed that the
negative sequence impedance for islanding and non-islanding
cases is clearly separable and thus able to detect islanding
events accurately.
VI. CONCLUSIONS
The proposed technique investigates the negative sequence
component of voltage, current and impedance for islanding
detection in distributed generations. Wavelet transform is used
to process the negative sequence voltage and current signals
and the d1 coefficients clearly detect the islanding events from
non-islanding ones. Further, the change in energy and
standard deviation of d1 coefficients for one cycle signal data
is found out which clearly detects the islanding conditions.
Also the negative sequence impedance is found out for both
islanding and non-islanding events, and it is observed that the
standard deviation of the negative sequence impedance of
islanding event is very low compared to non-islanding
condition, thus able to detect the islanding events effectively.
Thus the proposed methods are highly effective for islanding
detection with extreme operating situations of the Power
distribution network with multiple DG interface.
