The power system experiences many changes, which are leading to new challenges. The electric energy will no longer be generated only by large power plants, but rather by numerous decentralized energy resources that are primarily installed in distribution grids. In particular, power system restoration processes after a blackout will face new challenges. However, new opportunities by the widespread use of renewable energy resources arise. In this paper, the black start capability of a real distribution grid in Germany, operated by SWW Wunsiedel, will be investigated, as it has a high share of decentralised energy resources and a BESS with black start capability. For this purpose, the medium voltage level of the distribution grid is investigated with static load flow simulations to evaluate the best black start strategy. The driving forces of this black start concept are an 8 MW BESS unit and a 13.5 MW CHP plant.
