Hi there..
I'm interesting in the matter of black start in power station with H grade combine cycle through aeroderivative turbine.
I's there data base or some source for such power stations?
 
I tried to find aeroderivative turbine for black start purposes around the world - and there is no mention of the mater.
I would appreciate some directions.
 
As long as you can power up the auxiliaries and the starting motor any type of unit can be blackstarted. We have a 40 year old 75MW heavy frame turbine that’s black start capable, but it takes a 2MW caterpillar genset to get it started.

You just need to make sure your power source is large enough to provide for the loads during the blackstart process.
