Dongfang Electric passes tests on a 35 kV synchronous condenser to stabilize China's power grid
Its subsidiary Dongfang Electric Motor passed type tests on a 35-kilovolt synchronous condenser that can connect directly to the power grid, according to China Energy News. The unit supplies or absorbs reactive power and, through its rotating mass, adds inertia to damp voltage or frequency swings. By exceeding the usual 27 kV ceiling, it avoids intermediate step-up transformers. The development fits China's goal of peaking CO2 emissions before 2030 and reaching carbon neutrality before 2060.
