Talk:Synchronous condenser

The link in question is registered to Abdoh Ali Mohamed, Hay Swesri, Nasr City, Cairo, Egypt.
I wonder if the four IP addresses listed above have any connection... Naw, couldn't be.  Egypt is a big country. Must be a coincidence.
I'm going to start patrolling wikipedia for any links to electojects.com or redirects to it and deleting them on sight. If they come back, I'll move to blacklist the address. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 19:37, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Hello electrical friends!
It would be great to have some sort of imagery for these related articles.
For outsiders, it is very hard to understand "what" is being talked about.  (ie, is it a computer chip, is it a thing the size of a dam, does it look like the valve in a guitar amplifier, does it look like and large fridge .. etc)
Picture is worth 1000 words .. true enough!
Perhaps someone can get to it one day.  Cheers  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.148.34.51 (talk) 14:57, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

message: I have beefed up this section.  My editing skills are rudimentary, so I would appreciate it if someone will improve the representation of the maths. My experience with contributing to Wikki has been uniformly bad, so I expect that someone will delete my contribution for some trivial bureaucratic reason.  Please act with restraint if this paragraph does not please you, particularly if you do not fully understand the topic.  What I have written is technically sound and will provide a real insight to someone who is interested in the topic, and has a small amount of engineering knowledge. g4oep  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.37.54.83 (talk) 08:26, 25 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  How it works 

message: As renewables become more widespread; the concept of maintaining a power system's "strength" is often seen as part of the general debate on how  the power system should be altered to suit the inroad of renewables. Not being overly knowledgeable in this area I headed for this article in hope of enlightenment. Keeping this in mind it seems that system strength is the ability to maintain both Voltage and Frequency under short term error conditions. Whether that be a fault condition like a transmission short circuit/generator failure or something like an unexpected change in system loading by the users. At this point synchronous_condensers and large battery systems and possibly other devices come into play. Also generators with large mechanical inertia are gradually becoming displaced by renewables with the unintended reduction in system strength. These generators also have governors that presumably also play a part along with system wide FCAS. So in summary hoping someone more knowledgeable could write an article on "system strength" in light of the move to renewables in some countries and how this will drive changes in how system strength is managed and how this can implemented physically. Specifically what role do synchronous condensers play and are batteries just as good or are their roles different?
There is also a timeline to system strength from the very short term to the very long term ie pumped hydro could be regarded as supplying system strength when renewables are taking the day off. As a side effect I presume that the generator/pumps themselves will supply short term system strength depending on whether they are generating, off or pumping??

replies: text: I agree there should be more about the role of synchronous condensers in stabilization during short term faults.  Of course since the rotor must spin at a constant speed the synchronous condenser cannot produce or absorb real power, just reactive power, so it cannot play a role in grid energy storage. The issue of compensating for intermittent sources is addressed in a few Wikipedia articles; see Intermittent energy source, Variable renewable energy, Distributed generation, Demand response, Load following, Dispatchable generation, Automatic generation control, grid energy storage, Smart grid --ChetvornoTALK 06:40, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

text: I am thinking of creating a separate Grid strength article (now points to Short circuit ratio that has its own set of issues as it tries to describe two different topics in one text, see the talk page there). Викидим (talk) 16:04, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
thread_title: System strength

message: In trying to understand the name, I found this one which seems to have similar wording to this article.  Otherwise, it seems that there are plenty of references with condenser and plenty with capacitor. Gah4 (talk) 06:02, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Yup.  Welcome to Wikipedia.  Just try to learn calculus from WP, you'll be screaming in frustration in minutes.  Is even the opening paragraph understandable?  Where do you think it goes off into the Wikiweeds, never to be understood by the non-expert ever again? Your feedback can be helpful. --Wtshymanski (talk) 02:36, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
