At which time Synchronous generator act as a Synchronous Condenser?..

Answer / hareesh

Suppose a synchronous generator is synchronized with the
grid. This generator will work as synchronous condenser if we
over excite the rotor i.e the generator will supply reactive
power also to the grid. If we dont require the generator to
supply active power, the steam in put(for Thermal machines)or
water input (hydro generators) can be stopped. The machine
will continue running as synchronous condenser mode supplying
reactive power but consuming some active power, from the grid,
required for the rotation of the machine.

If any HVDC line is going with positive & negative(the negative usually have return path of current with earthing electrode). Now the question is if this HVDC earthed electrode which is using as return path and earthed any nearby 400kv or 220kv AC substation equipments. which will be the impact of this on AC substation & its equipment, how severe may be this and what should be the minimum distance require between HVDC earthed electrode and AC substation equipments? It's really an high engineering level question...Dare to answer and increase your knowledge.
