Abstract

Currently, electrical grid becomes of one main issue in many countries. This is because when some areas are blackouts these areas will take time to get back the power supply caused ongoing repair by maintenance. Therefore, the smart grid was established. The smart grid meets all requirements to make the electricity network become smarter. But there are some challenges when implementation of the smart grid. This paper also comes with the benefits of smart grid and differentiation for both smart grid and electrical grid. The islanding mode will detect in the smart grid when a load and a distributed generation (DG) system are electrically isolated from the remainder of the utility system. The islanding mode will separated into two which is intentional island and unintentional island. The main feature of DG is it can supply the power during islanding mode. Implementation of intentional islanding of DG improves the continuity of supply and reliability of power system. The performance of power will occurs such as on frequency, voltage, current or power factor during the intentional islanding mode. The main focus of this paper is to analyse the losses of power factor during smart grid and after the intentional islanding especially at 5 system buses. When the fault occurs it is very essential to detect the islanding mode rapidly before it will damage the equipment on the system.
