Synchronous Condensers – What can EME do for me?
Converting a turbine driven generator to synchronous condenser operation involves changes to the control, protection, and operating systems in addition to mechanical changes. This type of effort showcases the EME Products & Projects, Engineering, and Service capabilities in one turn-key project.
When converting a generator to a Synchronous Condenser, a key decision to be made is the method by which the generator will be accelerated to synchronous speed. EME supports both starting package technologies; Pony Motor or High- Voltage Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
