 \n\nAbstract:\n\nThe fault response of inverter-based resources (IBRs) rem
 ains one of the most significant challenges in modern power systems and a 
 major focus of standardization efforts. Despite years of work\, protection
  engineers still face uncertainty regarding IBR behavior during faults. Pr
 otection design near IBRs currently relies heavily on detailed models and 
 simulation studies. This approach is fragile because changes in user-adjus
 table settings or firmware can invalidate prior studies and require costly
  redesign. While model-based design was initially necessary\, it is not a 
 sustainable long-term solution.\n\nThis presentation introduces a new fram
 ework for defining IBR fault-response requirements in high-voltage network
 s. The approach is simple\, time-domain based\, and grounded in physical p
 rinciples. It emphasizes fast response\, current-voltage consistency\, and
  incremental currents\, including negative-sequence incremental current. W
 e show that an IBR can be designed to behave as a static current source be
 hind a virtual shunt reactor\, producing currents compatible with establis
 hed protection principles. The method requires no explicit negative-sequen
 ce controller while still delivering instantaneous and correct negative-se
 quence current.\n\nThe proposed framework promotes network homogeneity and
  preserves expected voltage-current relationships\, allowing protection fu
 nctions to operate reliably without detailed IBR models. It reduces the ne
 ed for extensive modeling\, supports both conventional and incremental-qua
 ntity-based protection elements\, and imposes no additional cost or comple
 xity on manufacturers. By constraining IBR fault response\, it provides a 
 practical path toward standardization\, improved protection reliability\, 
 and reduced engineering effort in networks with high IBR penetration.\n\nS
