Abstract

The increased use of distributed generation in the power system due to increased load demand has brought about many benefits to the power grids. This is due to the concerns about whether the technology in use currently in power generation and distribution, is sufficient to cover the future increasing demand with the limited supply. In response to this problem of increased load demand, efforts have been made to decentralize this infrastructure through the use of distributed generators. The benefits of using distributed generation include; improved reliability and increased efficiency in power supply, avoidance of transmission and distribution capacity upgrades, improved power quality and reduced line losses, minimize peak load demand, reduce voltage flicker, eliminate the need of having high spinning reserve among others. Despite these advantages, un-intentional islanding remains a big challenge and has to be addressed in integration of Distributed Generation to the power system. Unlike inverter based distributed generators, rotating machine based generators with fast response governors and AVRs are highly capable of sustaining an island. Therefore, anti-islanding protection for these generators is a more challenging problem in comparison with the inverter-based DG. This paper analyses the use of wavelet transform in islanding detection for rotating based distributed generators.
