Synchronous Condensers (Part 2 of 2)

This video, published by Columbia Gorge Community College, is the second part of a two part lecture on synchronous condensers. Throughout the lecture, presenter Jim Pytel walks viewers through scenarios that demonstrate the function and capabilities of synchronous condensers. The lecture explores topics such as the effect how the underexcitation of a rotor causes a synchronous condenser to consume positive power, how the overexcitation of the rotor causes a synchronous condenser to supply negative reactive power, and how "managing field current a synchronous condenser can power factor correct a larger 3 phase AC system." In this part, Pytel continues illustrating scenarios that demonstrate the operation of synchronous condensers.

This video runs 8:46 minutes in length. The first part of the lecture is available to view separately
