Hybrid integration of grid-following and grid-forming inverter-based resources (IBR) causes directional element misoperation and sensitivity degradation in distribution networks. This paper reveals the coupling mechanism of fault ride-through strategies

load capacity

and transition resistance on directional elements and proposes adaptive adjustment strategies for sequence-component directional elements. Firstly

it analyzes the magnitude and phase characteristics of the positive/negative sequence equivalent impedance of both IBR types considering their fault ride-through strategies. Subsequently

it derives quantitative relationships between IBR capacity

load

line length

and directional element misoperation under different negative- sequence control objectives

and quantifies the transition resistance values causing phase directional element misoperation. For the purpose of enhancing sequence- component directional element performance

an adaptive phase-angle compensation strategy based on impedance magnitude detection and an active negative-sequence phase-angle regulation strategy are proposed. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed strategies significantly improve the sensitivity of positive-sequence directional elements and the reliability of negative-sequence directional elements

providing a theoretical basis for directional protection setting and adaptive optimization in distribution networks with multi-type IBRs.
