Abstract: Islanding is undesired because it may impair the safety of maintenance service workers and/or damage load equipment through unsynchronized re-closure. In principle, islanding detection is the monitoring of islanding—indicating changes in inverter output parameters or other system parameters. This paper aims to aid design efforts through its comprehensive review of islanding detection methods (comparing their non-detection zones and detection speeds) and anti-islanding standards. As a result, this paper shall provide a handful information and clearer vision for researchers to determine the best method for their product.
