Table 8 Causes and effects on directional and negative-sequence overcurrent protection due to IBR

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

Directional (32) and negative-sequence overcurrent protection

Technology

Cause

Effect

Directional element protection

[55]

IBR

Strategies inverter control

Distortion signals, abnormal angle between V and I

[59]

WF-IV

Control the phase angle

Malfunction of phase comparison

Negative-sequence overcurrent protection

[50, 60]

IBR

Limited current, inverter control

Activation threshold. Different angles between V2 and I2

[51]

IBR

Insufficient amount of negative-sequence

The overcurrent function will not be activated

[57]

WF

Specification of the amount of negative-sequence in the GCs

The increased amount of the negative-sequence influences the amount of the positive-sequence

 

[61]

WFs

Insufficient amount of negative-sequence

Fault response interferes with directionality
