Abstract :
A brief historical review of the use of static capacitors and synchronous condensers for regulating power system voltage is made. Comparative costs are shown which demonstrate that the large synchronous condenser has a place on the large EHV power system. Application of the 345 mva fully water-cooled synchronous condenser on the American Electric Power System is described.
