Anti-islanding detection for renewable energy systems indistribution system

Integration of renewable energy systems into grid is an effective solution to the electric energy shortage and environmental pollution. A number of technical challenges may arise with increased grid-connected renewable energy systems. One of the most important issues is how to achieve the islanding protection. Many anti-islanding detection methods have been reported for single renewable […]

Canadian Scientists Network

Despite the drive to create a more diverse and inclusive science and engineering community in Canada – there is, remarkably, no central platform or easily accessible database that highlights natural sciences, engineering and allied health sciences scientists from different disciplines. In contrast, several other speakers bureau-type platforms enable searching for attributes and expertise. Imogen Coe […]
