  19. 2017 Black Start and Restoration Summary Evan Pierce

  20. Methodology Change • Positive feedback from Operators • Has led to more questions: • Isochronous: How many units can be supported? • CFC: What is the minimum and maximum threshold? • Generator dynamics: What is the current system operator LOK? • Communications: Is there need for scripted operating instructions?

  21. Simulator Issues • 100% negative feedback • Testing performance every training cycle • Some “simulator issues” were caused by poor operating practices and level of knowledge • 100% accountability check on Isochronous capable units • CFC verification

  22. Recommendations • Implement an All-Hazards Restoration Methodology • Additional day of Black Start Training • Reclassify some “Critical Loads” to “Black Start Loads” • Improve Stakeholder simulation tools • Black Start Benchmarking • Clarification of roles during Restoration • Isochronous/CFC Modeling • Market Restart

  23. All Hazards Approach for System Restoration Finish Start 5 Restore Load Uncharted Territory Market Restoration Reach Synch Point 4 AGC/LFC Build Corridor 3 CFC (Multi TOP) Restore Load Start Next Start Unit 2 CFC (Single TOP) Start Black Start Unit Build Cranking Path Start Next Start Unit Build Corridor Reach Synch Point 1 Build Cranking Path Isochronous Complete Blackout Start Black Start Unit Partial Blackout 0

  24. All Hazards Sequence for System Restoration
