| Objectives | The project is a three-year programme (Jan 2019 Mar 2022) that will develop and demonstrate new approaches to enabling Black Start services from Distributed Energy Resources (DER).Case studies on the SP Distribution (SPD) and SP Manweb (SPM) networks will be used to explore options and then design and test solutions through a combination of: detailed off-line analysis stakeholder engagement and industry consultation desktop exercises real-life trials of the re-energisation process. | |
| Abstract | Black Start is currently a transmission-led approach of starting large generators and energising a skeleton transmission network.Our electricity system is undergoing a revolution driven by decarbonisation and decentralisation, and Black Start services need to evolve accordingly.The key problem that Distributed ReStart aims to resolve is how to bring the organisational coordination, the commercial and regulatory frameworks, and the power engineering solutions together to achieve Black Start from DER.Distributed ReStart explores how Distributed Energy Resources (DER) in Great Britain can be used to restore power in the highly unlikely event of a total or partial blackout of the National ET System.Examples of distributed energy resources (DER) include: natural gas turbines biomass generators embedded hydro-power stations wind turbines solar panels.
