Passive islanding detection schemes are more used in utilities due to their low costs and less harmonic problems although having larger Non Detection Zones (NDZ) relative to other schemes. Passive system measurements at the point of common coupling (PCC) are the basis of this scheme. A new approach in passive techniques is the use of intelligent based methods in data-mining to classify the system parameters which affect the islanding detection. As a result, by finding an efficient and robust data-mining algorithm, the passive schemes problem, which is their relatively large NDZ, will be minimized. In this paper, massive measurements are collected by simulation of IEEE standard distribution...
