7F.05 synchronous condenser
GE Vernova has developed two flexible complementary synchronous condenser capabilities for the 7F.05 simple cycle gas turbine: A clutchless offering for our existing fleet and a clutched offering for the new units.
Innovative and sophisticated, they operate unfired in synchronous condenser mode, aiming at delivering voltage support, reactive power, and system inertia—without burning fuel. They can also support renewable growth, using excess solar or wind energy to provide grid stability while reducing emissions.
They are commercially available now for the GE Vernova 7F.05 fleet, with capability to extend across the full heavy-duty gas turbine fleet, potentially including E, F, and H class applications following validation.
