Abstract
Critical decisions in a decentralized generation-based low-voltage grid are conventionally made by a central control unit and communicated to the coupled inverters. Under a blackout, where communication channels might not be available, the coordination of inverters for a bottom-up black start has to follow a decentralized method. This paper proposes a practical algorithm locally adopted by inverters so that the inverter with the highest available power leads a voltage ramp-up to which others synchronize. A study based on the stochastic availability of decentralized generation guaranteed an assignment of a single inverter to the mentioned role in almost 98.6%. In the remaining unlikely events, two inverters are given the role. In such undesired cases, simulations still show a successful operation of the black start scenario: Either the two leading inverters conduct a communal ramp-up, or the weaker inverter is forced to exit the competition.
