  2. Synchronous condenser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synchronous_condenser

    Synchronous condenser installation at Templestowe substation, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Built by ASEA in 1966, the unit is hydrogen-cooled and capable of three-phase power at 125 MVA . In electrical engineering , a synchronous condenser (sometimes called a syncon , synchronous capacitor or synchronous compensator ) is a DC-excited ...

  3. Comparison of synchronous and asynchronous signalling

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_synchronous...

    There are two ways to synchronize the two ends of the communication. The synchronous signalling methods use two different signals. A pulse on one signal indicates when another bit of information is ready on the other signal. The asynchronous signalling methods use only one signal.

  4. Voltage control and reactive power management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage_control_and...

    active compensators (e.g., synchronous condensers, static var compensators, static synchronous compensators that can be either sources or sinks of reactive power; regulating transformers (e.g., tap-changing transformers).

  5. Static VAR compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_VAR_compensator

    A static VAR compensator has no significant moving parts (other than internal switchgear). Prior to the invention of the SVC, power factor compensation was the preserve of large rotating machines such as synchronous condensers or switched capacitor banks. [5]

  6. Static synchronous compensator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_synchronous_compensator

    In Electrical Engineering , a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) is a shunt-connected, reactive compensation device used on transmission networks. It uses power electronics to form a voltage-source converter that can act as either a source or sink of reactive AC power to an electricity network. It is a member of the FACTS family of devices.

  7. BiSS interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BiSS_interface

    Hardware compatible for SSI standard (synchronous serial interface) Cyclic reading of sensor data up to 64 bit per slave; Transmission of status data, parameter, measured temperature value, configuration description, etc. Isochronal, real time capable data transmission; Bidirectional communication with two unidirectional lines

  8. HVDC converter station - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HVDC_converter_station

    When line commutated converters are used, the converter station will require between 40% and 60% of its power rating as reactive power. This can be provided by banks of switched capacitors or by synchronous condensers, or if a suitable power generating station is located close to the static inverter plant, the generators in the power station ...

  9. Electric power system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_power_system

    A synchronous condenser installation at Templestowe substation, Melbourne, Victoria. The majority of the load in a typical AC power system is inductive; the current lags behind the voltage. Since the voltage and current are out-of-phase, this leads to the emergence of an "imaginary" form of power known as reactive power. Reactive power does no ...
