Abstract

The risk of unintentional islanding creation in distributed energy systems poses a significant security concern since unintentional islanding formation could lead to a supply of energy outside of the optimal quality limits. This constitutes a risk for users, maintenance personnel, infrastructure, and devices. To mitigate this problem, anti-islanding protections are widely used to prevent the distributed generator from feeding a portion of the radial distribution grid when a protection device trips upstream. However, the effectiveness of these protections heavily relies on properly tuning protection setting thresholds (such as time delay and pickup). This work proposes a novel approach that utilizes entropy as a model and metric of the uncertainty associated with a particular protection setting. By minimizing entropy, the proposed method aims to improve stability and sensitivity, consequently improving the overall performance of anti-islanding protection. Simulation results demonstrate that the Bayesian entropy methodology (BEM) approach achieves enhanced stability in various scenarios, including frequency transients, and demonstrates a notable reduction in the size of the dataset and computational burden, ranging between 91% and 98%, when compared to related works, with an improvement of the uncertainty achieved. The findings of this study contribute to the development of more robust and reliable anti-islanding protections.
