Review of anti-islanding techniques in distributed generators

In this paper a revision about different techniques for islanding detection in distributed generators is presented. On one hand, remote techniques, not integrated in the distributed generators, are discussed. On the other hand, local techniques, integrated in the distributed generator, are described. Furthermore, it is discussed how the local techniques are divided into passive techniques, based on exclusively monitoring some electrical parameters, and active techniques, which intentionally introduce disturbances at the output of the inverter, in order to determine if some parameters are affected.
