This paper introduces a sequential black-start system restoration procedure in a system with 100% inverter based resources considering system inertia. First, the capability of virtual inertia supported by controlled grid-forming inverters at various locations in a 100% inverter based resources system is calculated through estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance and nonlinear least square technique; second, a set of radiality constraints is designed for network topology to track inertia value at each bus to find the best restoration paths. Case studies on the modified 39 bus New England system demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms the existing state-of-the-art approaches in tracking speed and accuracy.
