25 Anti-Islanding with Multiple DGs Using PMUs to change balance of system Anti-Islanding is an issue with multiple DGs of various technologies: PV Inverters & Synchronous Generators Transient analysis is needed to determine P,Q and V characteristics subsequent to islanding Evaluating anti-islanding for cases with various P & Q mismatches Verify new protection schemes *Arrows denote total load downstream of location 230kV 21.6kV (breaker opens for islanding) 7.4 MW 3.3 MVAR (caps off) Islanded area 1.7 MW 0.7 MVAR 5.4 MW 2.4 MVAR C1 1.5 MW C2 1.2 MW PV2 2 MW Synchronous Generator 2.85 MW PV1 2 MW C3 1.2 MW PV3 1 MW

26 Evaluating Protection Response Islanding detection (trip time) varies significantly with the power mismatch Fast trip: t<1 sec Slow detection: 1 < t < 1.5 sec Very slow detection: t > 1.5 sec Synchronous generator supplied Q More sensitive to Q surplus

27 Smart PV Inverter Controls Lead Using PMUs close to Large PV Inverters to dictate mode of operation and controls Power curtailment & ramp rate control Three modes of voltage controls: Power factor (± 0.8) V set point Q(V) droop Islanding control for Microgrid MVAR Lag MW
