| Abstract: |
| The augmentation in electricity demand, power system privatization as well as efficacy of renewable resources has
paved the way for power system companies and researchers to exploit the field of grid connected distributed
generation (DG) and its issues, islanding being a dominant one. Several research works have been conducted to
mitigate the issues of islanding detection (ID). In context of this, the paper gives a comprehensive review of
islanding issues, standard test systems, criteria and shifting of research trends in islanding detection methods
(IDMs). The significant contributions pertain to categorization of IDMs, evaluation of non-detection zone (NDZ) for
each test system, disquisition on evolution and advancement of IDMs and its comparisons based on criteria such as
NDZ, run on time, nuisance tripping percentage, applicability in multi DG system and implementation cost to draw
out the strength and shortcomings of individual methods that will come to aid to the companies or researchers for
establishing the applicability and appropriateness of such method for their concerned domain. |
