Synchronous condenser installation at Templestowe substation, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Built by ASEA in 1966, the unit is hydrogen-cooled and capable of three-phase power at 125 MVA . In electrical engineering , a synchronous condenser (sometimes called a syncon , synchronous capacitor or synchronous compensator ) is a DC-excited ...
active compensators (e.g., synchronous condensers, static var compensators, static synchronous compensators that can be either sources or sinks of reactive power; regulating transformers (e.g., tap-changing transformers).
U.S. patent 567,818 - Electrical Condenser - 1896 September 15 - Condenser constructed or provided with means for exclusion of air or gas; Armature composed of a conducting liquid; Armatures in two separate bodies of conducting liquid insulated electrically and contained in a receptacle; Insulating liquid seal on the surface of the conductive ...
In Electrical Engineering , a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt-connected, reactive compensation device used on transmission networks. It uses power electronics to form a voltage-source converter that can act as either a source or sink of reactive AC power to an electricity network. It is a member of the FACTS family of devices.
A static VAR compensator has no significant moving parts (other than internal switchgear). Prior to the invention of the SVC, power factor compensation was the preserve of large rotating machines such as synchronous condensers or switched capacitor banks. [5]
When line commutated converters are used, the converter station will require between 40% and 60% of its power rating as reactive power. This can be provided by banks of switched capacitors or by synchronous condensers, or if a suitable power generating station is located close to the static inverter plant, the generators in the power station ...
OREBRO, Sweden (Reuters) -Sweden's right-wing government said on Friday it would seek to tighten gun laws in the wake of the country's deadliest mass shooting at an adult education centre where ...
The minimum real power requirement means that the left-side of a D-curve is detached from the vertical axis. Although some generators are designed to be able to operate at zero load (as synchronous condensers), operation at real power levels between zero and the minimum is not possible even with these designs.
