Abstract

This article systematically reviews the research progress on the formation mechanism, risk influencing factors, and protection strategies of the islanding effect in electric vehicle charging stations. The article first analyzes the potential hazards that may be caused by the isolated operation of electric vehicle charging stations, such as voltage and frequency fluctuations, equipment damage, and personal safety risks. The article then elaborated on the limitations of the existing detection methods, such as the limited accuracy of passive detection methods and the negative impact of active detection methods on the quality of the power grid. Then, starting from the development process of traditional detection methods to intelligent detection, the article discusses the current research status and future trends of protection strategies. The article also analyzed the main challenges currently faced by the technology, such as its insufficient adaptability in the complex grid environment, as well as the contradiction between cost and scalability. Finally, the article focuses on the integration of intelligent detection technology and multi-source collaborative protection strategies, and looks forward to the future research direction of islanding protection for charging stations. This article provides a theoretical reference for the construction of safe and reliable charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
