SYNCHRONOUS CONDENSERS

SYNCHRONOUS CONDENSERS

Synchronous Condensers (Syncon) are large rotating machines developed to mimic the operation of carbon-powered generators by providing an alternative source of spinning inertia. They are a robust solution to address challenges posed by integrating power conversion technologies that do not supply the inertia grid operators rely on to maintain electric grid stability. They provide reactive power compensation and additional short-circuit power capacity, allowing more renewables to be reliably connected to the grid.

IDEAL recognizes the challenges of the changing grid environment where voltage fluctuation, among other factors, can make it difficult to avoid instability or all-out failure. Therefore, we design and build custom Synchronous Condensers trusted to provide a long-proven solution for plant voltage stabilization and power factor correction. Compared to capacitors operating in a system with harmonics, their life expectancy is ordinarily about 3-5 years or less. Alternatively, condensers have a life expectancy of between 20-30 years, significantly increasing the longevity of your system.

Ideal Electric can provide a complete synchronous condenser package including:

  • Full-voltage or reduced-voltage starters
  • Starting Pony motors with variable frequency drive (VFD)
  • Excitation equipment
  • Protection equipment
