Table 7 Causes and effects on differential protection due to IBRs

From: Transmission line protection challenges influenced by inverter-based resources: a review

Differential protection (87L)

Function

Refences*

Tech**

Cause

Effect

Threshold current start

[53]

WF

Current limit protection by inverter control

Starting current does not operate

Phase selection logic

[53]

WF

Inverter control strategy, low-voltage ride-through

The inverter acts to increase the phase current phase

[54]

IBR

Control strategies during FRT

The angular difference of the faulted phase is not enough
