This Proposal would create comparable reactive power requirements for non-synchronous and synchronous generators, except that the Proposal requires that non-synchronous generators maintain the ...

Meanwhile, the short circuit power of synchronous machines, such as a turbine generator in a thermal power plant, has also been essential for power system protection and stability.

Synchronous condensers are AC synchronous rotating machines that produce the reactive power required to ensure reliable flow of electricity through AC power grids.

GE will provide two synchronous condensers and flywheel units to Italian grid operator Terna S.p.A. for the Brindisi substation in southern Italy.

Reactive power dispatch ensures that voltage profiles remain within safe operational limits, prevents cascading failures, and optimizes the utilization of generation and transmission assets ...
