Popis: Unintentional islanding is one of the serious concerns to be addressed when interfacing a distributed generation source, as it causes damage to the equipment and personnel. Many algorithms have been proposed for islanding detection in the literature which are classified into local methods (passive, active and hybrid), communication-based methods, and methods employing signal processing and classifiers techniques. Out of which, passive islanding detection methods have been mostly adopted in practice since they have an edge over other islanding detection methods (IDMs) such as there is no degradation of power quality as in active methods and are simple to implement and cheap as compared to communication-based methods. Therefore, in this paper, an attempt has been made to systematically put forward a detailed review of islanding detection methods exclusively with a passive approach. This review provides an insight into passive parameters (which are islanding detection indicators) considered by various researchers and their performance with respect to detection time (also known as run-on-time), non-detection zone, performance in a noisy environment exclusively for passive schemes employing signal processing techniques, difficulty level and process of selecting threshold value(s). Additionally, this review provides a brief account on the future role of passive schemes and also passive IDMs incorporating ride-through requirements in compliance with recent interconnection standards.
