Amid today’s changing landscape of generation sources and regulatory requirements, Eaton’s synchronous condensers provide turnkey solutions to help utility companies enhance grid stability, reliability and dynamic reactive power compensation. Enabling utilization of existing assets in the wake of coal power plant retirements, each synchronous condensers project is customized to a utility’s specific needs.
Core features
- Supports voltage during peak conditions and system disturbances with the ability to produce or consume reactive power
- Provides fault current capacity to the system
- Dynamic voltage control supports high-level adaptive voltage control strategies
- Inertia provided to transmission system
- Reactive power compensation can be utilized alone or with other devices to regulate and control reactive power flows
- Addresses short-term overload with ability to supply many times rated output for short-time durations
Decades of expertise
With a long history of overseeing successful turnkey design/build projects including synchronous condensers conversion and new build projects, Eaton’s Electrical Engineering Services & Systems team is your single-source provider for designing, building and commissioning power system solutions.
A longstanding solution to address a new problem
As one of the oldest power system support technologies, synchronous condensers have made a resurgence in recent years as more modern power electronics designed to replace them are falling short in their capabilities. By providing core benefits such as reactive power compensation, dynamic voltage control and short-circuit capacity/overload capabilities, Eaton’s synchronous condensers help utilities achieve grid reliability, stability, inertia and strength.
