The 14 pages that link to Black start, each with the reason it gives.

• Electric power transmissionRelated: Black-start plans rely on transmission paths to reconnect generators and rebuild the grid after a major blackout.

• High-voltage direct currentRelated: Some voltage-source HVDC links can energize isolated networks and assist restoration.

• Load balancingCompared with: Black start addresses recovery after a blackout rather than routine balancing.

• Electrical gridRelated: A widespread blackout can leave generators needing independent power to restart.

• Power outageRelated: Recovery may require restarting generators and rebuilding the network after a large outage.

• Pumped-storage hydroelectricityRelated: Some pumped-storage plants can help restart generation and rebuild grid supply after a blackout.

• Frequency regulationCompared with: Black start restores service after a blackout; regulation maintains balance during operation.

• Battery energy storage systemRelated: A suitably configured battery can energize equipment needed to restart grid operations.

• Grid energy storageRelated: Some storage systems can provide the initial power needed to restart grid equipment.

• Cascading failureRelated: After a widespread cascade, black-start capability helps rebuild the grid from isolated sources.

• Dispatchable generationRelated: Some dispatchable units can help restore the grid after a widespread outage.

• Power system stabilityRelated: It addresses recovery after a collapse, not stability during the initial disturbance.

• Ancillary servicesBroader topic: It is a specialized restoration service after a widespread outage.

• Utility frequencyRelated: Restoration requires rebuilding a stable frequency reference after a widespread outage.
