Power System Restoration with Black-Start Pump Storage Power Plants

Abstract

One of the main duties of a transmission system operator (TSO) is to be prepared for the power system worst case, which means to restore the power system operation after a total blackout. To this aim two main principles are currently available. The first one is based on power system restoration with external voltage support and the second more challenging one is based on own voltage support from black-start generation units. The current paper describes experiences of power system restoration based on detailed dynamic system modelling and tested in the real system by interconnecting for the first time two hydro-power generation centers over the Alps and also by using as load the currently worldwide largest voltage source full converter-driven-pump of 100 MVA.
