Anti-islanding protection systems for synchronous machine based distributed generators
First Claim
1. A system for providing anti-islanding protection of a distributed generator with respect to a feeder connected to an electrical grid, the system comprising:
- a voltage sensor configured to generate a terminal voltage signal representative of a terminal voltage of the generator;
a feedback power calculator configured for generating a reactive feedback power signal;
a bandpass filter configured for filtering the terminal voltage signal;
a proportional-integral controller summation element configured for summing the filtered terminal voltage signal, the reactive power feedback signal, and a reference reactive power to provide an error signal for use by a proportional integral controller in generating a voltage reference signal for the generator.

Abstract
A system for providing anti-islanding protection of a synchronous machine based distributed generator includes a frequency sensor configured to generate a generator frequency signal, a bandpass filter configured for filtering the generator frequency signal, a governor controller configured for using the filtered frequency signal to generate a power feedback signal, and a governor summation element configured for summing the filtered frequency signal, the power feedback signal, and a reference power to provide an electrical torque signal. Another system includes a voltage sensor configured to generate a generator terminal voltage signal, a feedback power calculator configured for generating a reactive feedback power signal, a bandpass filter configured for filtering the terminal voltage signal, and a PI controller summation element configured for summing the filtered terminal voltage signal, the reactive power feedback signal, and a reference reactive power to provide an error signal.
