An efficient and cost-effective statistical voltage-based method for passive islanding detection in microgrids

Unintentional islanding is defined as the condition in which a section of the power grid continues to be energized by distributed generators after disconnection from the utility grid, for example, due to a fault. This situation remains a significant protection challenge in microgrids with high penetration of inverter-b...
