Analysis of Anti-Islanding Protection Methods Integrated in Distributed Generation

The increase in electricity demand has given the Distributed Generation (DG) technology a boost in the power system. DG units are increasing expeditiously and majority of them are connected with distribution network in order to feed power in the local load and network as well. However, in order to do the maximum utilization of DGs few issues have to be discussed. Islanding condition is a standout amongst the most vital issue in this context. This paper discusses the various anti-islanding protection methods followed by a comparison between one of the active method with its improved variant on the basis of certain parameter.
