The effect of load condition on dynamic response capability of synchronous condenser

The short-time high capacity reactive power output and quick dynamic response performance are two key performances of new large synchronous condenser. In this paper, the effect of load condition on transient response capability of synchronous condenser by finite element analysis (FEa) model. A 300/-150Mvar prototype synchronous condenser is provided for modeling analysis at a group of different steady state operating conditions. Then the suddenly three-phase short circuit is carried out to compare the inrush current in different load condition.
