[QUOTE="mmain1, post: 789930, member: 6836"] I've never known black-start generators to be a secret. Just like mentioned above, to start the great big generators there are smaller, self-contained generators. [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_start[/url] What I had just heard a few weeks ago was that wind farms and solar farms are installing "black-start" generators to supplement the amount of power the sites are supplying to the grid when the wind isn't blowing or the sun is down. The utility company is expecting a given amount of power to be provided by the wind/solar sites and if they can't meet the requirement they use diesel/gas/methane/natural gas generators. This may not be the case at every wind farm so I was just asking. [/QUOTE]
