An AC synchronous motor that is not connected to any driven equipment is known as a conventional synchronous condenser.
When combined with the appropriate automatic exciter, the device is capable of providing continuous reactive power control.
When the synchronous motor is under-excited, it draws a lagging current from the source and thus supplies leading reactive power (or absorbs lagging reactive power).
When the device’s field excitation is increased, the system receives magnetizing power (kVAr). By varying the field excitation, a synchronous condenser’s current can smoothly transition from lagging to leading.
The Global Synchronous Condenser Motor market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
GE is celebrating 100 years of providing utility customers and transmission system operators with synchronous condenser solutions.
This technology, once considered nearly out of date, has reinvented itself and now provides crucial support to a changing grid as many transmission networks worldwide struggle with weak grid conditions as a result of retiring legacy thermal generation units and the intermittent nature of wind and solar power.
Synchronized condensers are electrical rotating equipment that are placed at strategic points along a transmission system.
They produce or absorb reactive power to keep the current flowing consistently to the grid, ensuring that reliable power is available to those who need it when they need it.
Since GE shipped Ontario Hydro in Canada the first high voltage synchronous condenser in the world, the company’s most recent synchronous condenser offerings have undergone numerous advancements.
Over the past century, the original 10 Mvar model has changed to keep up with changing grid demands.
With units ranging from 20 Mvar all the way up to over 300 Mvar in a single piece of equipment, GE now offers the industry’s most comprehensive synchronous condenser portfolio.
Over 200 synchronous condensers have been supplied to utilities by GE, a market leader in the utility sector.
