Abstract

Ever increasing integration of renewable resources into contemporary power systems has imposed a unique set of challenges for system protection. Effectiveness of techniques based on conventional system protection theory has long been questionable in protecting power systems with higher penetration of inverter-based resources (IBRs). Fault direction identification is one of the commonly affected protection functions in the presence of IBRs. This paper presents a novel algorithm to correctly identify fault direction using negative sequence admittance measurements. The proposed technique is robust and reliable and yields better results in comparison to conversional techniques in presence of IBRs. In addition, its operation is simple and can be conveniently incorporated into a modern digital relay.
