Background

  • Following a large-scale extreme event, it is extremely important to restore the system as quickly as possible.
  • The restoration process is greatly relies on the topology of the networks and resources, which determine the sequence of restoration starting from the black-start generators.
  • As the grid evolves to include larger amounts of loads and distributed energy resources (DERs), it is important to develop strategies to utilize the full potential of black-start and capabilities of DER units for power system restoration.
