The synchronous condensers were specifically developed for voltage stabilization and power factor correction on electric power transmission grids.
When the variations of reactive power on the grid are not corrected, voltage instability, system isolation (islanding), voltage collapse, and, in extreme cases, the blackout of the electric system may occur.

Applications
WEG’s synchronous condensers are rotating electrical machines which have been specifically developed to provide voltage support to electrical networks, and to increase the network inertia and short circuit power capacity. Our synchronous condensers provide reliable and efficient solutions for improving stability and voltage regulation in electrical power grids.
