Power System Restoration & Black Start

Blackouts Occurred everywhere in the world, in the developed countries as well as in the under developing countries. They were reported to be happened in the USA, Europe, Japan, Africa, Russia, and Asia countries. Interconnection of power systems were started in 1960 in the USA and extended to Europe and most countries having scattered networks.

Causes of blackouts and examples of their occurrence will be detailed in this course. Metods of system restoration after blackouts will be highlighted.

Electrical engineers working in power system generating plants, in load centers of factories, in distribution transformers substations, in transmission networks, in steel factories, in power control centers.
