Abstract

The dependency of bottom-up grid restoration techniques on centralized communication leaves them prone to single-point failures. The authors have proposed a communication-less decentralized scenario to restore a low-voltage feeder through multiple grid-forming inverters. This work identifies design-level scenario parameters that influence the current transients, i.e the bottleneck of the black start sequence. Following existing regulations and technical limits, two alternative scenarios are proposed and validated in Power Hardware-in-The-Loop tests with real inverters and realistic load behavior. A comparison shows how each scenario maximizes the grid restoration success given the characteristics of the grid under study.
