Abstract:-Â In recent years, microgrids have emerged as a promising solution to the increasing demand for reliable and sustainable electricity supply. Islanding is a critical issue in microgrids, which can cause severe damages to the connected loads and the grid itself. Therefore, the detection of islanding is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of microgrids. This research paper proposes a novel passive islanding detection method for a microgrid using instantaneous energy. The proposed method is based on measuring the rate of change of instantaneous energy in the microgrid during normal and islanding conditions. The simulation results show that the proposed method can detect islanding events with high accuracy and sensitivity, even in the presence of noise and disturbances. The proposed method can also be easily implemented in practical microgrid systems with low-cost hardware and minimal communication requirements.
Keywords:-Â Microgrid, Islanding, Detection, Instantaneous Energy, Rate of Change.
