Abstract

One of the significant issues in the field of microgrids is their islanding, where in many cases, the lack of awareness of microgrid islanding can lead to interference in the protective and control functions of the microgrid. Therefore, the accurate detection of microgrid islanding is of utmost importance. In this article, a method based on deep neural networks is presented. The proposed approach utilizes terminal parameters of microgrid resources, such as sequence current components, voltage, and other parameters, to detect islanding. Various operational states of the microgrid are simulated offline as standard test cases, and the parameters of each of them are recorded for later use. These data are then used to extract statistical features using discrete wavelet transform. Subsequently, the extracted features are fed into deep neural networks for training, and the training and evaluation results demonstrate an accuracy of over 99% for the proposed method in terms of precision and reliability. Furthermore, the accuracy of the proposed method is compared with some similar approaches for islanding detection.
