Abstract
In recent years a revival of rotating synchronous condensers could be seen all over the world. This trend is mainly driven by the introduction of enduring energy production. The change in energy mix is leading to the replacement of conventional energy production with synchronous machines by “low inertia” and “low thermal time constant” power park modules. Power park modules are represented by wind farms and registrable solar power plants. Compared to power park modules synchronous machines have a high thermal time constant and must therefore not be limited during short circuit events in its reactive power capability. Additionally, synchronous condensers have a natural mechanical inertia, which cannot be reached by modern power park modules. Therefore synchronous condensers complement power park modules for transmission upgrade projects and help to improve reliability, preserve future energy options and contribute to economic stability. Different design considerations are discussed.
