What must be done when Black Start unit fuel supply reaches the minimum level?

When the fuel supply of a Black Start unit reaches the minimum level, it is essential to notify PJM. This action is crucial because PJM, as the grid operator, needs to be aware of the operating status of generating units for managing the electric grid effectively. Black Start units are critical as they provide the capability to restart the power system following a blackout. Consequently, maintaining communication with PJM ensures proper coordination and planning for fuel management and potential resource deployment.

Alerting PJM enables timely response measures and planning to either address the fuel supply issue or arrange for backup resources. This diligent notification process supports the overall reliability of the power grid and assists in preventing disruptions caused by insufficient fuel supply in these essential units.
