Industry Assessment and Initial Adaptive Protection System Design
This report presents the success merits, logic design details, and test plans for adaptive protection schemes for microgrids, secondary distribution networks, and radial distribution feeders. Success merits are presented in terms of challenges and issues which should be mitigated. The challenges and issues were identified during site-specific simulations and analysis presented in a prior report. The adaptive protection logic designs are presented in a vendor-neutral manner to make them readily adaptable to site--specific protection relays and controllers which support custom logic design. Vendor-specific implementations of the logic for the adaptive protection laboratory tests are also presented. The final section of the report presents details of the testing methodology, plans, and documentation for each of the three adaptive protection schemes.

User-defined EMT inverter model reference performance, utility-scale [Slides]
This report investigates the response of the inverter under different terminal voltage and operating conditions. The goal is to understand the control objective of the inverter (e.g., injection of reactive current for voltage dips) based on the inverter’s response. No attempt is made to determine the exact control algorithms implemented in the inverter.

Generic Photovoltaic Inverter Model in an Electromagnetic Transients Simulator for Transmission Connected Plants
This report proposes a generic model specification of a photovoltaic inverter applied in transmission-connected plants for implementation in an electromagnetic transients simulator. The model specification contains the necessary control loops to meet the fault ride-through performance requirements in the IEEE 2800-2022 standard. The report details the implementation and example parameterization of the model in PSCAD™. Simulation results verify the model meets the performance requirements. Comparisons of the model’s response to laboratory test measurements of a commercial 2.2 MVA storage inverter show the model can reasonably predict the response of commercial equipment.
