Synchronous condensing in power systems
Synchronous condensers support grid stability and reliability as renewables grow, helping enable a balanced, modern energy transition.
Powering stability
GE Vernova’s aeroderivative gas turbines deliver the flexibility, speed, and grid-stabilizing capabilities needed for renewable-heavy power systems. When grid stability and rapid response matter, these solutions combine active power generation with synchronous condenser mode—giving you critical services like inertia, frequency control, and reactive power support in one unit.
Whether you need a new deployment or to enhance an existing site, GE Vernova’s aeroderivatives—like the LM2500XPRESS*, TM2500*, and LM6000*—provide fast-start capability and reliable dual-mode operation:
The LM2500XPRESS and TM2500 gas turbines also provide clutchless operation, reducing maintenance and improving efficiency.
Synchronous condensers are similar to traditional generators in their design but are optimized to control reactive power instead of producing real electrical power. Here's how it works:
GE Vernova combines global engineering expertise with a portfolio designed to help you stabilize the grid, support renewables, and respond when the grid needs you most.
