Comparative Assessment of Various Islanding Detection Methods for AC and DC Microgrid

Distributed energy resources (DERs) are an alternative to conventional fossil fuel-based energy resources for a pollution-free operation. But the integration of these DERs to the main grid comes with certain challenges, out of which islanding detection is of prior importance. This literature provides a review of existing techniques used for islanding detection in AC and DC microgrid along with their advantages and shortcomings.
