DETECTING ISLANDING CONDITIONS IN POWER NETWORKS

摘要

A method for detecting islanding conditions in a low voltage (LV) electric power network, wherein the electrical power network comprises a plurality of sub-networks. The sub-networks comprise at least one power electrical unit and are separable from each other and a main grid supplying the network by switching devices. The method comprises determining topological information of at least one sub-network of interest, detecting islanding conditions in at least one sub-network of interest on the basis of the topological information by using separate detecting means for each sub-network of interest, and sending, on the basis of the islanding conditions detected by using the detecting means, a disconnect signal to at least one power electrical unit in at least one sub-network of interest.
