Abstract: Renewable energy is substantially applied at the distribution grid in order to fulfill the electricity demand as well as addressing global heating issue caused by conventional energy source. However, application of the distributed energy source raises new concern in regards of unintentional islanding activity in which prompts grid protection issues hence, endangering utility worker’s safety. These several decades feature thousands of invention and innovation of anti-islanding method developed by researchers to satisfy the demand of grid protection. Therefore, this paper conducts an overview on several islanding detection schemes with concentration on the mechanism of the method, the merits as well as the demerits of the scheme. It is concluded that there is no ideal method developed as yet, but some of these methods or integration of them are able to be applied practically to specific distributed source and grid structure.
