Islanding is the intentional or unintentional division of an interconnected power grid into individual disconnected regions with their own power generation.
Islanding is the intentional or unintentional division of an interconnected power grid into individual disconnected regions with their own power generation.
Intentional islanding is often performed as a defence in depth to mitigate a cascading blackout. If one island collapses, it will not take neighboring islands with it. For example, nuclear power plants have safety-critical cooling systems that are typically powered from the general grid. The coolant loops typically lie on a separate circuit that can also operate off reactor power or emergency diesel generators if the grid collapses.
