Discovered some docs on what has to happen for a "black Start". It is much more intensive than what I thought and helps to explain why there was such an issue when Iselle knocked out PGV. many people here here were upset that PGV didn't have "a generator" available to restart their system.
As it turns out, these would not be just a generator. They are very specific devices that have to be able to handle intense loads and backfeed issues as well as be able to be tripped off/on multiple times during a restart.
