The detection of islanding effect is a highly important topic for photovoltaic (PV) power system The islanding effect occurs whenthe distributed power source is disconnected from the main supply while the power is still supplied in partial load area which mayinjure the set maintenance personnel or damage the equipment Combining chaotic synchronization and extension theory thisresearch is to propose a novel detection method to distinguish the occurrence of islanding effect based on nonautonomous Chuarsquoscircuit To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method this paper applies PSIM to simulate the PV power system Theexperimental results show that the accuracy of the proposed method achieves 98 on islanding effect
1 Introduction
In recent years Taiwanrsquos rapid industrial development has ledto increasing demand on fossil energy Topics of the envi-ronmental protection sustainable resources application andgreen energy industry have drawn more attention [1] Interms of green energy the photovoltaic (PV) and wind powerdevelopment is relatively mature Taiwan as a small islandhas limited natural resources to develop wind power First itis more difficult to install wind turbines on the sea as com-pared to install PV power system on the land [2] Secondthe peak period of energy consumption is in the summerwhile it is the lowest power generation season for wind powerThe location of Taiwan is on latitude of 235 degrees northwith abundant sunshine in the summer and is suitable fordeveloping PV power systemThe annual power generation isabout 48917MWh in Taiwan [3] Recently Taiwan has been
promoting PV power system and the total installed capacityreached 296MW in 2014
The output of PV system is DC which must be convertedinto AC by inverter before it is connected parallel to the mainsupply The phenomenon is called islanding effect when boththe load and PV power system are disconnected from theload simultaneously and the PV power system still suppliespower to the loadOnce the islanding effect occurs and the PVpower system is not disconnected from the load instantly itwill result in the casualties ofmaintenance personnel or causethe heavy damage on power users power supply system orelectrical equipment With the construction of different dis-tributed power source and power network parallel systemsonce the mains supply is disconnected by fault the hazardprobability of islanding effect increases relatively Thereforethe prevention and detection of islanding effect are crucial onthe application of renewable energy

There are two main categories for islanding detectionactive and passive methods The active detection method isdesigned to directly and actively detect the part of the net-work and then distinguish the signal changes while the pas-sive detection method monitors system parameters to dis-connect from the load when nonnormal condition occurswithout directly interactingwith the systemCompared to thepassive method active method is more effective Howeverthe effectiveness of active method may become the adversityto the system and besides it requires higher implementationcost thanpassivemethod [4 5]Many recent studies have pro-posed islanding operation preventionmethods such as phasejump detection method [6] voltage harmonic detectionmethod [7] and power variation rate detection method [8]Those methods are relatively easy to be implemented How-ever when the output power of electric governor and theload power of PV systems approach balance the voltage andfrequency changes of PV power system are insignificantand the passive detection method often fails All the abovemethods face the problem of nondetection zone and cannotindependently detect the islanding effect
Combining chaotic synchronization and the extensiontheory this research is to propose a novel detectionmethod todistinguish the occurrence of islanding effect based on nona-utonomous Chuarsquos circuit [9] With simple structure thenonautonomousChuarsquos circuit is easy to be implementedThechaotic synchronization detection method and the extensiontheory have high computing speed and both are likely to beimplemented by chips not only to enhance the performanceof nonautonomous Chuarsquos circuit detection but also to inc-rease the accuracy of islanding detection
2 Summary of Islanding Effect
The islanding effect is a phenomenon when the PV powersystem and the power network are connected in operation[10] The connection between PV power system and powernetwork is shown in Figure 1 The islanding effect refersto independent power supply of partial network when theelectricity is interrupted and the power network has faultsor powers off but the PV power system fails to detect itimmediately and the protection relay has not been cut offthe system [11] IEEE 1547 IEC 61727 and NEC 690 are theregulations for the parallel connection between distributedpower source of power system and main supply As moreand more distributed power sources are connected parallelto the main supply network the potential islanding problembecomes severe increasingly Due to disconnection frommain supply network the distributed power source loses thereference of power supply from power company Under inde-pendent operation of distributed power source the powercompany cannot monitor the power system and the damageof household appliances or sensitive machines occurs
When the islanding effect occurs the voltage and fre-quency of distributed power source may be abnormal andcannot be monitored A reliable PV power system shoulddetect the occurrence of islanding effect and function intime to avoid damaging the load or injuring the maintenance

workers The traditional islanding operation preventionmethods are described below
21 Phase Jump Detection Method When the distributedpower source is disconnected from main supply the outputrequirement of distributed power source for load is unbal-anced so the inverter output current and load end voltagehave phase difference with respect to different forms of loadThe system determines whether the islanding effect is gener-ated or not according to the phase difference However if theload is resistive thismethod cannot recognize islanding effectsuccessfully [6] In addition some loads such as motorscause temporary phase deviation at the moment of startupand will reduce the accuracy rate
22 Voltage Harmonic Detection Method The voltage har-monic detection method checks whether the voltage thirdharmonic distortion of load exceeds the threshold If it doesthe protection relay is cut off for islanding detection Thelimitation of the method is due to nonlinear load and powerquality in practice and the threshold range of harmonicdetection method is difficult to be determined thus theaccuracy detection rate decreases [7]
23 Power Changing Detection Method Power changingdetectionmethod identifies islanding effect based on the out-put power changing of inverter When the main supply is dis-connected from the distributed power source the outputpower of inverter is significantly different from normal par-allel connection and the power variation rate is easily mea-sured by power detection instrument When the outputpower of PV power system approaches the load consumedpower the power of load is still in equilibrium state Whenthe PV power system cuts off the main supply the outputvoltage still keeps the magnitude and frequency variation ofnormal main supply and it will result in misoperation of thisdetection method [8]

32 Chaotic Synchronization Pecora andCarroll showed thatwhen the signs of the Lyapunov exponents for the subsystems
are all negative the chaotic system will synchronize andconstructed a real set of chaotic synchronizing circuits [14]In chaotic systems the initial state has subtle change whichis gradually enlarged and leads to significant difference even-tually Generally the two synchronous chaotic systems arecalledmaster systemand slave systemWhen the initial valuesofmaster and slave systems are different the operation trajec-tories of the two chaotic systems are different The basicformula for the chaotic synchronization is shown as in

PSIM and Matlab simulate nonautonomous Chuarsquos circuitand power grid in this study In order to detect slight changesin the PV power system this study imported the originaldata into the chaotic synchronization-based detector moduleto form the chaos error scatter pattern However there weremany error distribution points in the diagram the centroidpattern was used as the characteristic of islanding detectionto set the feature range and effectively reduce the quantity ofthe extracted features Figure 6 shows the typical chaos errorscatter patterns under normal condition where the triangleis the center of chaos scatter patterns and the four centercharacteristics (eight values from 119881
1to 1198818) are used as the
input patterns of the proposed extension detection methodIn order to precisely distinguish genuine islanding effect
from the power system quality issues five PV power systemsincluding normal islanding harmonics voltage swells andvoltage dips are simulated in this study The specific charac-teristics are (1) normal (2) islanding is when the grid systemand the photovoltaic system cut off (3) harmonics is thepower system have contain high frequency (4) voltage swellsoccur between reference voltage 11 pu and 18 pu (5) voltagedips occur between reference voltage 01 pu and 09 pu

There are two main categories for islanding detectionactive and passive methods The active detection method isdesigned to directly and actively detect the part of the net-work and then distinguish the signal changes while the pas-sive detection method monitors system parameters to dis-connect from the load when nonnormal condition occurswithout directly interactingwith the systemCompared to thepassive method active method is more effective Howeverthe effectiveness of active method may become the adversityto the system and besides it requires higher implementationcost thanpassivemethod [4 5]Many recent studies have pro-posed islanding operation preventionmethods such as phasejump detection method [6] voltage harmonic detectionmethod [7] and power variation rate detection method [8]Those methods are relatively easy to be implemented How-ever when the output power of electric governor and theload power of PV systems approach balance the voltage andfrequency changes of PV power system are insignificantand the passive detection method often fails All the abovemethods face the problem of nondetection zone and cannotindependently detect the islanding effect
Combining chaotic synchronization and the extensiontheory this research is to propose a novel detectionmethod todistinguish the occurrence of islanding effect based on nona-utonomous Chuarsquos circuit [9] With simple structure thenonautonomousChuarsquos circuit is easy to be implementedThechaotic synchronization detection method and the extensiontheory have high computing speed and both are likely to beimplemented by chips not only to enhance the performanceof nonautonomous Chuarsquos circuit detection but also to inc-rease the accuracy of islanding detection
2 Summary of Islanding Effect
The islanding effect is a phenomenon when the PV powersystem and the power network are connected in operation[10] The connection between PV power system and powernetwork is shown in Figure 1 The islanding effect refersto independent power supply of partial network when theelectricity is interrupted and the power network has faultsor powers off but the PV power system fails to detect itimmediately and the protection relay has not been cut offthe system [11] IEEE 1547 IEC 61727 and NEC 690 are theregulations for the parallel connection between distributedpower source of power system and main supply As moreand more distributed power sources are connected parallelto the main supply network the potential islanding problembecomes severe increasingly Due to disconnection frommain supply network the distributed power source loses thereference of power supply from power company Under inde-pendent operation of distributed power source the powercompany cannot monitor the power system and the damageof household appliances or sensitive machines occurs
When the islanding effect occurs the voltage and fre-quency of distributed power source may be abnormal andcannot be monitored A reliable PV power system shoulddetect the occurrence of islanding effect and function intime to avoid damaging the load or injuring the maintenance

workers The traditional islanding operation preventionmethods are described below
21 Phase Jump Detection Method When the distributedpower source is disconnected from main supply the outputrequirement of distributed power source for load is unbal-anced so the inverter output current and load end voltagehave phase difference with respect to different forms of loadThe system determines whether the islanding effect is gener-ated or not according to the phase difference However if theload is resistive thismethod cannot recognize islanding effectsuccessfully [6] In addition some loads such as motorscause temporary phase deviation at the moment of startupand will reduce the accuracy rate
22 Voltage Harmonic Detection Method The voltage har-monic detection method checks whether the voltage thirdharmonic distortion of load exceeds the threshold If it doesthe protection relay is cut off for islanding detection Thelimitation of the method is due to nonlinear load and powerquality in practice and the threshold range of harmonicdetection method is difficult to be determined thus theaccuracy detection rate decreases [7]
23 Power Changing Detection Method Power changingdetectionmethod identifies islanding effect based on the out-put power changing of inverter When the main supply is dis-connected from the distributed power source the outputpower of inverter is significantly different from normal par-allel connection and the power variation rate is easily mea-sured by power detection instrument When the outputpower of PV power system approaches the load consumedpower the power of load is still in equilibrium state Whenthe PV power system cuts off the main supply the outputvoltage still keeps the magnitude and frequency variation ofnormal main supply and it will result in misoperation of thisdetection method [8]

4 The Proposed Extension Detection Method
PSIM and Matlab simulate nonautonomous Chuarsquos circuitand power grid in this study In order to detect slight changesin the PV power system this study imported the originaldata into the chaotic synchronization-based detector moduleto form the chaos error scatter pattern However there weremany error distribution points in the diagram the centroidpattern was used as the characteristic of islanding detectionto set the feature range and effectively reduce the quantity ofthe extracted features Figure 6 shows the typical chaos errorscatter patterns under normal condition where the triangleis the center of chaos scatter patterns and the four centercharacteristics (eight values from 119881
1to 1198818) are used as the
input patterns of the proposed extension detection methodIn order to precisely distinguish genuine islanding effect
from the power system quality issues five PV power systemsincluding normal islanding harmonics voltage swells andvoltage dips are simulated in this study The specific charac-teristics are (1) normal (2) islanding is when the grid systemand the photovoltaic system cut off (3) harmonics is thepower system have contain high frequency (4) voltage swellsoccur between reference voltage 11 pu and 18 pu (5) voltagedips occur between reference voltage 01 pu and 09 pu
The proposed extension detection method is based onthe extension theory The extension set extends the fuzzy setfrom [0 1] to (minusinfininfin) So it allows the researcher to define

To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method500 sets of tested data are simulated using PSIM softwareThis paper uses a 66-PV (w) panel to simulate the distributedpower source and parallel connection to 110V 60Hz mainsupply The specifications of the PV panels for open-circuitvoltage and short-circuit current are 217 V and 345ArespectivelyThe ideal electric power supply only contains thefundamental frequency component But when it is deliveredto the client-side the voltage waveform possesses harmoniccomponents due to long-distance delivery nonlinear loads

According to the centroid of chaos scatter diagram inFigure 7 the islanding effect can be easily detected which issignificantly different from other conditions So the protec-tion relay can function in time to cut off the main supply toeliminate the casualties of maintenance personnel or causethe heavy damage on power users power supply systemor electrical equipment Moreover the harmonic conditionis close to normal condition in a few cases so the systemmay misrecognize its state However when the islandingeffect occurs the waveform and centroid are apparently

32 Chaotic Synchronization Pecora andCarroll showed thatwhen the signs of the Lyapunov exponents for the subsystems
are all negative the chaotic system will synchronize andconstructed a real set of chaotic synchronizing circuits [14]In chaotic systems the initial state has subtle change whichis gradually enlarged and leads to significant difference even-tually Generally the two synchronous chaotic systems arecalledmaster systemand slave systemWhen the initial valuesofmaster and slave systems are different the operation trajec-tories of the two chaotic systems are different The basicformula for the chaotic synchronization is shown as in

4 The Proposed Extension Detection Method
PSIM and Matlab simulate nonautonomous Chuarsquos circuitand power grid in this study In order to detect slight changesin the PV power system this study imported the originaldata into the chaotic synchronization-based detector moduleto form the chaos error scatter pattern However there weremany error distribution points in the diagram the centroidpattern was used as the characteristic of islanding detectionto set the feature range and effectively reduce the quantity ofthe extracted features Figure 6 shows the typical chaos errorscatter patterns under normal condition where the triangleis the center of chaos scatter patterns and the four centercharacteristics (eight values from 119881
1to 1198818) are used as the
input patterns of the proposed extension detection methodIn order to precisely distinguish genuine islanding effect
from the power system quality issues five PV power systemsincluding normal islanding harmonics voltage swells andvoltage dips are simulated in this study The specific charac-teristics are (1) normal (2) islanding is when the grid systemand the photovoltaic system cut off (3) harmonics is thepower system have contain high frequency (4) voltage swellsoccur between reference voltage 11 pu and 18 pu (5) voltagedips occur between reference voltage 01 pu and 09 pu
The proposed extension detection method is based onthe extension theory The extension set extends the fuzzy setfrom [0 1] to (minusinfininfin) So it allows the researcher to define

Various detection methods are also used to test the samePV power system The testing time and accuracy are shownin Table 5 The detection times of phase jump and voltageharmonic methods are relatively proposed method long Thephase jumpdetectionmethod has high accuracy for nonresis-tive loads but it fails when the load is resistive [19] Thevoltage harmonic detection method is unable to resist theinterference of power quality andmisrecognition occursThepower changing method is faster and more accurate thanvoltage harmonic method However when the output powerof PV power system approaches the load consumed powerthis method cannot detect islanding effect Among them allour proposedmethod has the shortest detection time and canprecisely identify the islanding effect

PSIM and Matlab simulate nonautonomous Chuarsquos circuitand power grid in this study In order to detect slight changesin the PV power system this study imported the originaldata into the chaotic synchronization-based detector moduleto form the chaos error scatter pattern However there weremany error distribution points in the diagram the centroidpattern was used as the characteristic of islanding detectionto set the feature range and effectively reduce the quantity ofthe extracted features Figure 6 shows the typical chaos errorscatter patterns under normal condition where the triangleis the center of chaos scatter patterns and the four centercharacteristics (eight values from 119881
1to 1198818) are used as the
input patterns of the proposed extension detection methodIn order to precisely distinguish genuine islanding effect
from the power system quality issues five PV power systemsincluding normal islanding harmonics voltage swells andvoltage dips are simulated in this study The specific charac-teristics are (1) normal (2) islanding is when the grid systemand the photovoltaic system cut off (3) harmonics is thepower system have contain high frequency (4) voltage swellsoccur between reference voltage 11 pu and 18 pu (5) voltagedips occur between reference voltage 01 pu and 09 pu
The proposed extension detection method is based onthe extension theory The extension set extends the fuzzy setfrom [0 1] to (minusinfininfin) So it allows the researcher to define

Various detection methods are also used to test the samePV power system The testing time and accuracy are shownin Table 5 The detection times of phase jump and voltageharmonic methods are relatively proposed method long Thephase jumpdetectionmethod has high accuracy for nonresis-tive loads but it fails when the load is resistive [19] Thevoltage harmonic detection method is unable to resist theinterference of power quality andmisrecognition occursThepower changing method is faster and more accurate thanvoltage harmonic method However when the output powerof PV power system approaches the load consumed powerthis method cannot detect islanding effect Among them allour proposedmethod has the shortest detection time and canprecisely identify the islanding effect

Various detection methods are also used to test the samePV power system The testing time and accuracy are shownin Table 5 The detection times of phase jump and voltageharmonic methods are relatively proposed method long Thephase jumpdetectionmethod has high accuracy for nonresis-tive loads but it fails when the load is resistive [19] Thevoltage harmonic detection method is unable to resist theinterference of power quality andmisrecognition occursThepower changing method is faster and more accurate thanvoltage harmonic method However when the output powerof PV power system approaches the load consumed powerthis method cannot detect islanding effect Among them allour proposedmethod has the shortest detection time and canprecisely identify the islanding effect

Various detection methods are also used to test the samePV power system The testing time and accuracy are shownin Table 5 The detection times of phase jump and voltageharmonic methods are relatively proposed method long Thephase jumpdetectionmethod has high accuracy for nonresis-tive loads but it fails when the load is resistive [19] Thevoltage harmonic detection method is unable to resist theinterference of power quality andmisrecognition occursThepower changing method is faster and more accurate thanvoltage harmonic method However when the output powerof PV power system approaches the load consumed powerthis method cannot detect islanding effect Among them allour proposedmethod has the shortest detection time and canprecisely identify the islanding effect

information for future analysis when the harmonic correla-tion grade ranks the second On the contrary the sampleisland correlation grade is minus1 meaning that it is unlikely tobe islanding effectTherefore the proposed detectionmethodcan efficiently and effectively distinguish islanding effect fromthe power quality problem
Various detection methods are also used to test the samePV power system The testing time and accuracy are shownin Table 5 The detection times of phase jump and voltageharmonic methods are relatively proposed method long Thephase jumpdetectionmethod has high accuracy for nonresis-tive loads but it fails when the load is resistive [19] Thevoltage harmonic detection method is unable to resist theinterference of power quality andmisrecognition occursThepower changing method is faster and more accurate thanvoltage harmonic method However when the output powerof PV power system approaches the load consumed powerthis method cannot detect islanding effect Among them allour proposedmethod has the shortest detection time and canprecisely identify the islanding effect

6 Simulation Results
The islanding effect is an inevitable problem in distributedpower source and it causes the damage on maintainers or
electrical equipment Therefore this paper proposes a noveldetection method using the chaotic signal synchronizationwith extension theory to analyze the islanding effect of thePV power systemThe simulation conditions include normalislanding harmonic voltage swell and voltage dip Testresults show that the proposedmethod cannot only detect themain states of PVpower systems but also provide useful info-rmation for future analysis by the relative relation degreesBased on the results the following conclusions are proposed
(1) Proposed method combining Chuarsquos circuit andchaotic signal synchronization is effective on island-ing detection and the architecture is easy to be imple-mented in hardware circuit

different from normal and other power quality issues There-fore the islanding operation can be identified accurately andthe system can be immediately shut off
Table 2 shows the typical patterns of the proposed meth-od 10 sample data are selected from 500 test data randomlyin which sample data number 8 is harmonic state and sampledata number 9 is normal state The values are very closeto each other according to the centroid characteristics butboth are significantly different from islanding state Thus thepower quality problem can be eliminated and the protectionrelay correctly functions
Using the proposed method the partial detection resultsare shown in Table 3 and the classification results for all 500data sets are shown in Table 4 While the relation degreewith the islanding condition equals 1 (the maximum value)sample number 1 is classified as in islanding state Moreoversamples number 9 is classified as in normal state as the rela-tion degree with the normal condition equaling 1 Althoughthe detection result is normal it can also provide useful
