Abstract :
The Hydrogen Research Institute developed a hybrid renewable energy power system that uses a wind turbine, a photovoltaic array and a fuel cell. In order to connect this system to the grid, an islanding protection device is being developed. This paper presents the passive (U/O Voltage, U/O Frequency) and active (Sandia frequency shift and Sandia voltage shift) protection methods that were chosen to be added to the system. It also presents a Matlab/Simulink model of the protection device and the simulation results that were obtained using different critical operating conditions for which the clearing times can surpass those defined by the IEEE 1547 standard. Passive and active detection methods are combined in order to improve the efficiency of the islanding protection
