Custom Black Start

Total system reliability is a tough target to hit. But in today’s energy world it’s also mandatory. Fortunately there is a new set of remarkable tools and training protocols that bring 100% system reliability that much closer to reality.

Until recently, operator-training simulators have only been available as weak desk-top drills or as part of multi-million dollar, multi-year investments in Energy Management Systems. Now, instead of the multi-million dollar simulator, your entire system can be modeled and your team trained on SOS Intl’s amazing BRICK (Bulk Reliability in a Compact Kit).

With the BRICK at its core, the Custom Black Start (CBS) program from SOS Intl can simulate and test your Black Start plans while training your operators in every imaginable emergency situation. If your plan works on the BRICK, it will work in the field.

CBS on the BRICK is now the electric industry's most accurate, easy to use, affordable training in principles and practice of Power Systems with real live simulator-based scenarios. CBS takes training to a new level by bringing students onto a realistic model of the system they are familiar with and operate every day. 

You’re working to build reliability into your system. That reliability is made up of the combination of System Design, Operating Procedures, Training, Validation, Testing, Strategic Operator Assessment and CASE analysis. With Custom Black Start simulation on the BRICK, you build and test every one of these elements by training on your own system.

Let your system operators train and earn their CEH and EO’s where they count – on your own system.

“Recovering from a widespread power outage is a dynamic and complex process. By using PowerSimulator with EPRI OTS, ISO New England’s simulated restoration training exercises more closely match the types of issues operators could encounter were a system-wide outage to occur. The tools’ real-time feedback provides information necessary to validate and enhance our restoration procedures and improves our operator’s ability to respond to these types of events successfully and safely.”      Girard Elliott’ Former Supervisor, Operations Training ISO New England.
