Answer / dhivyabharathi

When it is over excited it will act as a synchronous
condenser. when the synchronous motor is over excited, it
will also act as the synchronous condenser.synchronous
condenser is like a capacitance.synch.condenser can be used
in power factor improvement.

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

Answer / praadeep_dd@yahoo.com

At peak load time Synchronous Gen. act as Synchronous
condenser. At peak load time the p.f. is very poor resulting
in low vtg at receiving end. Hence to feed reactive power to
inductive load the Synchronous Gen. is over excited. This
improves p.f. improving vts profile at R.E.

In the solution of load flow eqation, Newton raphson method is superior to the gauss siedal method because (a)the time taken to perform one iteration in the NR method is less when compared to GS method (b)the number of iterations required in the NR method is more compared to that in the GS method (c)the number of iterations required is dependant on the size of the system in the NR method (d)convergence characteristics of the NR mehod are not affected by the selection of the slack bus
