Dec 6, 2022 - What Is A Black Start Of The Power Grid?


A summary of the challenges with starting a grid back up from total collapse.

Restoring power after a major blackout is one of the most high stakes operations you can imagine. The consequences of messing it up are enormous, but there`s no way to practice a real-life scenario. It seems as simple as flipping a switch, but restoring power is more complicated than you might think.
