Abstract:
A method for detecting islanding conditions for distributed generators connected to a grid. The method comprises steps of estimating a grid impedance, inducing, on the basis of the estimated grid impedance, a variation on a value of a first electrical quantity of the grid, monitoring a grid response to the variations, and determining islanding conditions on the basis of the monitored response.

Abstract:
A method for detecting islanding conditions of a distributed grid, wherein transfer of power through a power electrical unit is controlled on the basis of a control reference and the method comprises a first stage and a second stage. The first stage comprises injecting a reactive component to the control reference, and, for at least one electrical quantity of the grid, determining a change in the quantity induced by the injected component, and determining, on the basis of the change in the electrical quantity, whether or not to move to the second stage of the method. The second stage comprises, for at least one electrical quantity of the grid, determining a value of the electrical quantity, forming a positive feedback term using at the determined value adding a positive feedback term to the control reference, determining a change in an electrical quantity induced by the feedback term, and determining islanding condition on the basis of the change in the quantity induced by the feedback term.

Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with electrical power distribution. A distributed energy source 32 is adapted to transmit its actual power generation to the power grid 14. Dependent on the load state and the power generation, the charging power of a battery 18 of an electrical vehicle 12b is constrained such that not more than the actual available power from the distributed energy source 32 is withdrawn from the power grid 14.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with a distribution controller (19) for controlling a distribution of electrical power in an assigned first power distribution region (1). The controller is adapted to be connected to process devices (21) which in turn interact with primary devices (5,7,9.11,13) of the assigned first region. The distribution controller is provided with a standardized, machine-readable network description of the first region and comprises means to identify, following a network reconfiguration, the extent of an orphan network section that is no longer connected to the first region. The distribution controller is further adapted to transmit a description of the orphan network section to a second distribution controller controlling a second or neighbouring power distribution region to which the orphan section has been connected as a consequence of the network reconfiguration. Due to this capablility of transmitting descriptions of the network section changing hands, there is no need to keep and update a description of the entire network in each controller of the power distribution system.
