black start using aeroderivative turbine

[Avielos]

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?

The basics behind it can be found in documents such as the one at the following link.

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.
