MUMBAI, India, Aug. 17 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617079205 A) filed by Ge Vernova Renovables Espana, S. L. on June 26, 2026, for System And Method For Providing Blackstart Of Grid-Forming Inverter-Based Resources.
Inventors include Basak, Rupam; Tiwari, Arvind Kumar; Roy, Rabisankar; Padmarao, Veena; and Chandrani, Shreya.
The application for the patent was published on August 14, 2026, under issue no. 33/2026.
Abstract: A method of blackstarting a power generating farm having a plurality of inverter-based resources includes satisfying one or more blackstarting preconditions. Upon satisfaction of the one or more blackstarting preconditions, the method includes implementing a self-excitation process for a first inverter-based resource of the plurality of inverter-based resources. The self-excitation process includes utilizing at least one of a DC link capacitor or a first converter of a power conversion assembly of the first inverter-based resource. The self-excitation process further includes self-exciting a generator of the first inverter-based resource of the plurality of inverter-based resources by ramping up a DC bus setpoint of a DC link of the first inverter-based resource to gradually increase terminal voltage of the generator and voltage of the DC link in a controlled manner. Further, the method includes blackstarting remaining inverter-based resources of the plurality of inverter-based resources using the self- excited first inverter-based resource.
