As the grid adds wind power, researchers have to reengineer recovery from power outages

When electric grids go down, there’s no way to restore them — ‘blackstart’ them — with power from wind turbines. A team is now working to develop strategies and controllers that would reenergize power grids dominated by wind power. In Iowa, wind turbines now produce 55% of the state’s electricity. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2022/05/220531181931.htm
