The present paper focuses on the validation of an innovative islanding detector, named SmartID, to be included into anti-islanding protection systems for LV distribution networks. The SmartID is designed to guarantee a reliable islanding detection when the classical voltage and frequency relays at the distributed generation premises fail, due to their limited sensitivity. On-field tests have been performed by ENEL Distribuzione S.p.a. installing 20 SmartIDs in the smart grid located at Isernia (Italy). The analysis of the results shows the ability of the SmartID to detect islanding in real operation when generation and load are balanced.

Abstract

The present paper focuses on the validation of an innovative islanding detector, named SmartID, to be included into anti-islanding protection systems for LV distribution networks. The SmartID is designed to guarantee a reliable islanding detection when the classical voltage and frequency relays at the distributed generation premises fail, due to their limited sensitivity. On-field tests have been performed by ENEL Distribuzione S.p.a. installing 20 SmartIDs in the smart grid located at Isernia (Italy). The analysis of the results shows the ability of the SmartID to detect islanding in real operation when generation and load are balanced.
