NeoDyne and Ganz Transformers and Electric Rotating Machines Limited (Ganz Electric) have established a framework for cooperation in the development, tendering and delivery of synchronous condenser projects.
The Memorandum of Understanding brings together Ganz Electric’s expertise in synchronous condenser machines and excitation equipment with NeoDyne’s capabilities in engineering, procurement, construction, system integration and commissioning. Together, the companies aim to deliver turnkey synchronous condenser installations for transmission and distribution system operators, utilities and industrial customers.
David O’Sullivan, Managing Director – Power Generation & Energy Systems at NeoDyne, said:
As renewable generation continues to grow, synchronous condensers have an important role to play in maintaining grid stability. This collaboration brings together Ganz Electric’s machine expertise and NeoDyne’s engineering and project delivery capabilities, enabling us to develop integrated solutions for customers. We look forward to working together to deliver the infrastructure needed for a more resilient electricity network.
Gergely Gál, Ganz Electric CEO, said:
Ganz Electric is committed to building and maintaining security of supply across the European power grid. While renewable energy is a main part of Europe’s future, it also presents significant operational challenges for power systems. Our partnership with NeoDyne was established precisely to deliver robust solutions to these complex challenges.
Supporting a more resilient electricity network
As electricity networks accommodate higher levels of renewable generation, maintaining sufficient inertia, voltage support and grid strength becomes increasingly important.
Synchronous condensers provide rotating inertia, reactive power support and short-circuit capacity, helping networks respond to disturbances and maintain a reliable electricity supply. These capabilities make them an important part of the infrastructure supporting the energy transition.
Complementary expertise across project delivery
Ganz Electric will contribute its expertise in the design, manufacture and supply of synchronous condenser machines and associated equipment, including machine-mounted excitation components, instrumentation and factory testing.
NeoDyne will contribute its expertise in balance-of-plant engineering, procurement, construction and installation, electrical systems, plant control and protection, and overall system integration and commissioning.
The collaboration aims to bring these complementary capabilities together through a coordinated approach, spanning project development and tender engineering through to installation, testing and commissioning. Delivery responsibilities and scope will be agreed in detail for each project.
For NeoDyne, this collaboration supports the ongoing development of its PowerGen and Energy Systems offering, bringing its electrical engineering and plant integration expertise to synchronous condenser projects.
