With the drive in NYS for Electrification and the Federal, State and Local legislations moving the power industry from Fossil Fuels to Clean Energy Sources many new challenges arise for the power engineering industry. We will introduce some of the protection challenges that are starting to be seen globally with the shift from traditional Synchronous Energy Generation Production to Inverter Based Resources (IBRs) as used in the PV, Wind and Battery Energy Storage Solutions of today. This presentation will cover some of the key issues/concerns being faced by the Utility Distribution Providers as identified in IEEE-2800 and NREL (National Renewable Energy Laboratory/DoE) along with some of the evolving solutions from the power equipment industry.
