GE Vernova’s Synchronous Condenser Systems are engineered and designed to provide a highly reliable and efficient solution, providing an optimized solution for cost, performance and operational flexibility.

GE Vernova has combined multiple synchronous condenser machines into systems that allow for reduced overall footprint, customize Mvar ratings and maintenance flexibility for utilities to reduce operational downtime.

GE Vernova synchronous condensers have superior construction, resulting in high efficiency, reliability, and provide easy access for routine maintenance and low vibration for a long life.

Unique forged integral pole tip design well suited to high load inertia applications. Low mechanical stress is achieved through:

• Fewer loose components
• Improved mechanical stability
• Reduced hot spots during starting
• No pole screw locking concerns
• No differential thermal expansion problems
• Proven experience including the world’s largest 1,800rpm motor

GE Vernova leads the industry with more than 100 years of experience and the proven synchronous condenser design has been applied in over 200 applications. 

GE Vernova’s Synchronous Condenser system consists of components commonly used in electric utilities and industrial facilities, with proven robustness and reliability.

GE Vernova’s Series Compensation System is comprised with industry leading and patented technology, helping customers achieve high reliability and lowest possible losses on their transmission lines. The major components of the Series Compensation System include Capacitors, Metal Oxide Varistors, Triggered Air Gap, and Fast By-Pass Switches.

GE Vernova’s Series Compensation offerings include three capacitor options: fuseless, internally fused or externally fused. GE Vernova works with customers to evaluate their requirements and determine the best technical solution to meet customer needs to ensure, reliable and cost effective system.

GE Vernova recommends the fuseless option, which has been the dominant technology since the late 1990’s and is proven with a long term field failure rate of less than 0.03% per year. The film foil capacitor is a proven GE Vernova design that has been in use since the 1970s. The fuseless design produces the highest unbalance current (easy to detect a failed roll) with the lowest voltage stress on the remaining units (lower chance for a cascading failure). The diagram below depicts the two capacitor groups.

The GE Vernova project team represents unsurpassed worldwide power system engineering capabilities, comprehensive system design expertise, and unequaled project management experience. Our strength in each of these areas enables us to deliver a highly reliable solution that will fully meet your power system requirements. With each reactive compensation project GE Vernova undertakes, this team is committed to delivering 100% satisfaction.

GE Vernova’s Series Compensation Systems brings together an extensive portfolio of products, services and engineering excellence to deliver the next generation systems for customers based on specific requirements to address both technical and business objectives as well as support several applications. GE Vernova provides highly reliable and efficient designs that have low overall maintenance and cost of ownership. Below are just a few of GE Vernova’s selection of customer applications.

GE Vernova’s family of Modular Arc Commutating Triggered Air Gap (MACTAG) solutions represent the industries leading technology for fast protective devices. The patented technology provides fast, reliable bypass protection, which can reduce the amount of Metal Oxide Varistors (MOV) required on a series capacitor bank resulting in project cost savings.

Customers can realize the following potential advantages with GE Vernova’s MACTAG solutions including:

• Enhanced Fault Durability and Voltage Withstand Performance
• Higher Protective Level Ratings with Fast Recovery Time Validated by Independent 3rd Party
• 50% Smaller Footprint with Reduced Installation Time

GE Vernova’s MACTAG is available in two models: MACTAG 240 and MACTAG 360. The MACTAG models are the fastest TAG’s in the industry and suitable for fast recovery applications. For applications where fast recovery time is not required, a Pilot Gap only option is available. The models include:

• MACTAG 240, maximum protective level of 240-250kV*
• MACTAG 360, maximum protective level of 360-400kV*
  ( * Depends on the application )

• PG 240, maximum protective level of 240-250kV*
• PG 360, maximum protective level of 360-400kV*
