However, the PLL will be stable at 60Hz after the islanding event if the local load is the RLC load with 60 Hz resonant frequency. In order to effectively detect the islanding condition under this load, the SRF PLL is modified to be unstable when islanding occurs. As shown in Fig. 3, an additional feedback loop is used to destablize the PLL under islanding conditions.
As shown in Fig. 4, when islanding occurs, the PLL output will be unstable using the proposed method. The proposed algorithm has a small impact on the converter system operation and can be implemented easily.
