PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a synchronous capacitor that generates and/or absorbs reactive power so as to provide stability to an electric power grid without the need for a starting motor or types of mechanical and/or electrical devices requiring space and parasitic power for operation.SOLUTION: The present application thus provides a method of operating a synchronous capacitor. The method may include the steps of accelerating a gas turbine engine to full speed no load conditions, connecting a generator attached to the gas turbine engine to an electric power grid, turning off a flow of fuel to the gas turbine engine, operating the generator in a synchronous capacitor mode, and providing or absorbing reactive power to or from the electric power grid.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
