A synchronous condenser is a direct current (DC)-excited synchronous machine whose shaft is not attached to any driven equipment or prime mover. It is a synchronous motor with an exciter system, which enables the motor to absorb excessive reactive power during overexcited or lagging conditions to maintain and stabilize the voltage as per the transmission system’s requirements. Synchronous generators and motors can be modified and used as synchronous condensers. The modified synchronous generators and motors operate on a permanent or temporary synchronous condenser basis. Existing power plant generators, such as gas, hydro, and steam turbine generators, can temporarily operate as synchronous generators with the necessary modifications. Old and decommissioned generators can also be refurbished to be used as synchronous condensers, apart from newly built synchronous condensers.
