Customer success story
Eaton converts retiring generating units to synchronous condensers to enhance grid reliability
Decades of expertise
A long-standing solution to address a new problem
As one of the oldest power system support technologies, synchronous condensers have made a resurgence in recent years as more modern power electronics designed to replace them are falling short in their capabilities. By providing core benefits such as reactive power compensation, dynamic voltage control and short-circuit capacity/overload capabilities, Eaton’s synchronous condensers help utilities achieve grid reliability, stability, inertia and strength.
