Presentation

The increased integration of renewable Inverter-Based Resources (IBRs) such as wind, solar, and battery storage in the bulk power system leads to challenges for reliable operation of system protection. Traditionally, protective relays have been designed and set with the expectation of high fault currents and dynamic behavior dominated by synchronous generators. Short circuit analysis tools and models have also been developed over several decades around these assumptions. Nevertheless, these assumptions may no longer hold under IBRs, due to the different short circuit and dynamic characteristics of these resources.
