 Synchronous condenser

A **synchronous condenser** is a type of synchronous machine that operates primarily for power factor correction in electrical power systems. It functions similarly to a synchronous generator but is designed to act primarily as a reactive power compensation device rather than for energy generation. Here are some key points about synchronous condensers: 1. **Reactive Power Control**: Synchronous condensers can provide or absorb reactive power (VARs), helping to manage voltage levels in the grid and improve the overall power factor.
