Overview
Decarbonization targets drive the retirement of traditional thermal power plants and the increased adoption of non-synchronous technologies such as solar, wind, and increased use of high-voltage direct current (HVDC) electric power transmission.
To support increased renewable penetration, solutions are required to replace the missing key grid-stability characteristics of inertia, short-circuit contribution, and reactive power. Based on our proven Brush Power Generation DAX generators, our synchronous condensers offer all three—and are unique in their ability to provide both short-circuit contribution and inertia.
We can also provide the following options as part of the solution:
- Excitation (permanent magnet generator and automatic voltage regulator)
- Main terminal cubicles with monitoring
- Control and electric protection systems
- Cooling system
- Lubrication oil system
- Switchgear
- Flywheel (for increased inertia)
