What is Black start?
'''Black start''' is the process to start up in a [[power station]] from zero, without the help of power from the [[electrical grid|grid]] connected to the station. Usually, a power station uses its own set of [[electrical generator]] to start the plant. This is a [[diesel]] generator called the '''Black start diesel generator''' ('''BSDG'''). This powers up all electrical panels which control the station. {{science-stub}} [[Category:Electricity]]
