  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING THE ROTOR ANGLE STABILITY OF SYNCHRONOUS GENERATORS
    Publication number: 20150364920
    Abstract: Provided is a power plant that is connected to a transmission grid. The power plant includes a synchronous generator and a synchronous condenser connected in parallel. The power plant is configured to increase the rotor angle stability of the synchronous generator to ride through fault conditions and frequency deviations on the transmission grid.
