Week 5 assignment 5

1. ROCOF and ROCOVPA are examples of


a) Passive Islanding Detection Techniques
b) Active Islanding Detection Techniques
c) Hybrid Islanding Detection Techniques
d) Communication Islanding Detection Techniques

Reason: Passive Islanding Detection Techniques: Power Quality, Impedance, Rate of Change of
Frequency (ROCOF), Rate of Change of Voltage Phase Angle (ROCOVPA), and Signal Processing Based

2. ROCOF IDT requires a minimum power mismatch of _________?


a) 10%
b) 15%
c) 20%
d) 25%

Reason: Rate of Change of Frequency, Drawbacks: Requires a Minimum power mismatch of 15%.

3. In which of the following IDTs is the DER is driven into unstable mode?
a) Current injection technique
b) Positive feedback technique
c) Passive IDTs
d) None of these

Reason: Positive feedback : Negligible NDZ, DER is driven into unstable mode, some techniques
might have power quality problems.

4. Voltage unbalance is used to initiate _______ method.


a) Current injection
b) Positive feedback
c) Frequency set point
d) None of these

Reason: Voltage unbalance is used to initiate frequency set point method.

5. Power line carrier communication (PLCC) uses a ________-energy communication signal


along the power line.
a) High
b) Low
c) Medium
d) Extremely high

Reason: Power line carrier communication (PLCC) uses a low-energy communication signal along the
power line.

6. Which of the following is not a disadvantage of the signal produced by disconnect (SPD)
method?
a) relative expensiveness
b) licensing complications
c) design complications
d) additional supervision
Reason: Its strengths are additional supervision and full control of both the grid and the DG. Its
drawbacks, however, include relative expensiveness, also possible/significant licensing and design
complications.

7. Which of the following is/are protection issues in smart grid?


a) Dynamics in level of fault currents
b) Bi-directional fault Current
c) False tripping
d) All of these

Reason: Protection Issues: Dynamics in level of fault currents, Bi-directional fault Current, False
tripping, Blinding of Protection

8. Which of the following uses technologies like SCADA, and PLCC to monitor circuit breaker
status?
a) Passive Islanding Detection Techniques
b) Active Islanding Detection Techniques
c) Hybrid Islanding Detection Techniques
d) Communication Islanding Detection Techniques

Reason: Communication Islanding Detection Techniques use extensive communication technologies


like SCADA, and PLCC to monitor circuit breaker status.

9. In a smart grid, the penetration of DER affects:


a) Level of fault current
b) Direction of fault current
c) Sensitivity of protection devices
d) All of these

Reason: The penetration of DER alters the level of fault current. Also, the magnitude of fault current
is altered based on the modes of operation of the microgrid. This reduces the sensitivity of the
protection devices.

10. For the detection of islanding, the set point for voltage relays is:
a) OVR-1.05pu; UVR-0.95
b) OVR-1.1pu; UVR-0.9
c) OVR-1.1pu; UVR-0.88
d) OVR-1.2pu; UVR-0.8

Reason: Set point for voltage relays-OVR-1.1pu; UVR-0.88.
