Publication number: 20220011358Abstract: A method for a direct current (DC) islanding detection based on positive feedback of a bus voltage at a specific frequency, essentially including three steps: extraction of a specific frequency component of the bus voltage, injection of a disturbance component of the specific frequency, and determination of DC islanding. The extraction of the specific frequency component of the bus voltage and the injection of the disturbance component of the specific frequency constitute a positive feedback mechanism in a power management unit control loop. In a grid-connected mode of a DC grid, the positive feedback mechanism fails due to a control action of a voltage management unit on a bus, and the bus voltage remains stable. In an islanding mode of the DC grid, under an action of the positive feedback mechanism, the power management unit allows the bus voltage to generate a self-excited oscillation at the specific frequency.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2020Publication date: January 13, 2022Applicant: Zhejiang UniversityInventors: Wuhua LI, Qinghui HUANG, Chushan LI, Heya YANG, Xiaowei GU, Min CHEN, Huan YANG, Xiangning HE
