To have good performance on both power quality and islanding detection, a third-harmonic injection is generated by a new kind of phase disturbance and the scope of phase disturbance coefficient is precisely defined, besides, for extracting the third-harmonic component at the point of common coupling accurately, a selective harmonic extraction based on multiple second-order generalised integrators is also provided. Performances of the proposed method have been studied and confirmed through extensive simulations using MATLAB/Simulink platform.}, title = {Accurate active islanding detection method for grid-tied inverters in distributed generation}, journal = {IET Renewable Power Generation}, issue = {13}, volume = {11}, year = {2017}, month = {November}, pages = {1633-1639(6)}, publisher ={Institution of Engineering and Technology}, copyright = {© The Institution of Engineering and Technology}, url = {https://digital-library.theiet.org/;jsessionid=7v98f3rgfur3p.x-iet-live-01content/journals/10.1049/iet-rpg.2017.0080} }
