As utilit ies increasingly deploy synchronous condensers to strengthen grids with hi gh inverter-based resource penetration\, appropriate protection schemes ar e essential.\n\nThe report describes synchronous condenser machine charact eristics\, including excitation systems\, rotating inertia\, capability cu rves\, and fault current contribution. It addresses how existing generator s — hydro\, combustion turbine\, and steam turbine types — may be repu rposed as synchronous condensers. Protection schemes are discussed in deta il\, distinguishing those essential for synchronous condensers from those developed for synchronous generators that require modification or are unne cessary entirely. Key topics include loss of field protection\, negative-\ nsequence protection\, stator ground fault protection\, and backup protect ion. The report also identifies protection functions — such as loss of s ynchronism\, inadvertent motoring\, and abnormal frequency — that are ge nerally not required due to the absence of a prime mover.\n\nAdditional co nsiderations cover stability limits\, inadvertent energization\, out-of-ph ase synchronization\, and subsynchronous oscillations. Appendices provide simulation analyses\, a protection settings example\, and supporting theor etical derivations.\n\nLunch will be provided.\n\nThree (3) Professional D evelopment Hours will be awarded to attendees\n\nSpeaker(s): Jason Eruneo\ n\nBldg: Seminole Electric Cooperative\, Inc.\, 16313 Dale Mabry Hwy\, Tam pa\, Florida\, United States\, 33618 LOCATION:Bldg: Seminole Electric Cooperative\, Inc.\, 16313 Dale Mabry Hwy\ , Tampa\, Florida\, United States\, 33618 ORGANIZER:kallemang@ieee.org SEQUENCE:29 SUMMARY:IEEE FWCS PES/IAS Seminar: Synchronous Condenser Protection URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/572882 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in\ ; mso-para-margin-left: 0gd\; text-align: justify\; text-indent: -.1pt\; m so-char-indent-count: 0\; line-height: normal\; mso-outline-level: body-te xt\; mso-hyphenate: auto\; background: white\; mso-vertical-align-alt: aut o\;">This seminar provides an overview of the IEEE J25 Synchronous Condens er Protection report\,&nbsp\;which can be found here:</p>\n<p class="MsoNo rmal" style="margin-left: 0in\; mso-para-margin-left: 0gd\; text-align: ju stify\; text-indent: -.1pt\; mso-char-indent-count: 0\; line-height: norma l\; mso-outline-level: body-text\; mso-hyphenate: auto\; background: white \; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto\;"><a href="https://resourcecenter.ieee.or g/publications/technical-reports/pes_tr_141_psrc_051126">Synchronous Conde nser Protection | URC | IEEE Universal Resource&nbsp\;Center </a>(Free for PES Members!).</p>\n<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0in\; mso-pa ra-margin-left: 0gd\; text-align: justify\; text-indent: -.1pt\; mso-char- indent-count: 0\; line-height: normal\; mso-outline-level: body-text\; mso -hyphenate: auto\; background: white\; mso-vertical-align-alt: auto\;">The report provides guidance on the protection of synchronous condensers &mda sh\; rotating synchronous&nbsp\;machines that supply voltage regulation an d system inertia without generating active power.
