A black start generator is a power generation unit which provides the power plants with the initial power backup during a blackout without depending on any external electric source. Black start generators have minimal power output of 20 MW generally and they provide a fast start up to the primary turbine generators. They are majorly used in hydro, thermal and nuclear power plants. The emergence of black start power generators have helped the industrial power plants to survive complete blackout due to technical or natural disasters and keep the processes ongoing to meet the end users demand. Properties like easy fuel sourcing, longer life span, and low emissions have made black start diesel generators, the majorly used black start generators by type. These generators consists of a diesel engine, generator (2MW-5MW), an air starting system for driving the small diesel engine and synchronizing & monitoring equipment.

The increase in number of manufacturing industries, regulatory bodies across the globe and construction & reconstruction of power plants due to retiring by regulatory bodies are the major driving factors for black start generators market. The increasing applications, competitive market and demand of black start generators in the oil & gas industry has also fueled the growth of this market. Black start generators have some technical requirements and need proper maintenance to work properly. They cannot be used in power plants using wind turbines as availability of wind at the needed time can become a disturbing factor.
