Supporting the energy transition

A stronger grid. A more resilient future.

As renewable generation grows, transmission networks need additional support to maintain stability. Synchronous condensers provide rotating inertia, reactive power and short-circuit capacity.

NeoDyne brings electrical engineering, control system integration, construction and commissioning capability together with Ganz Electric synchronous machine expertise to develop and deliver turnkey plants.

01 | Inertia

Support system stability

Rotating mass adds inertia to the network, helping support a grid with increasing renewable penetration.
02 | Reactive Power

Strengthen voltage support

Synchronous condensers provide reactive power support to help maintain grid voltage and power quality.
03 | Fault Support

Reinforce grid strength

Short-circuit capacity, fault ride-through and fault support contribute to the resilience of transmission networks.

NeoDyne + Ganz Electric

Machine expertise. Plant-wide integration.

Our strategic partnership combines complementary capabilities to jointly develop and deliver synchronous condenser projects: Ganz Electric as the synchronous machine OEM and NeoDyne for EPC delivery and balance-of-plant integration.

EPC delivery & BOP integration

Bringing the plant together

With three decades of experience in the engineering, construction, commissioning and operation of power generation facilities, NeoDyne provides the electrical, automation, instrumentation and mechanical expertise required to deliver fully integrated synchronous condenser plants.
Synchronous machine OEM

Expertise at the core

Rooted in 145+ years of legacy building large electrical rotating machines, Ganz Electric combines technical heritage with a robust modern structure and a global commitment to sustainable innovation.

Turnkey Project delivery

From machine to integrated plant to 24/7 support

Explore the complementary disciplines behind NeoDyne’s synchronous condenser project capability.

Engineering the complete system

Ganz Electric designs and manufactures the synchronous condenser, excitation system and pony motor, with tailor-made frames built to each project’s requirements. Manufacturing is certified to ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001.

Engineering the complete system

NeoDyne engineers and integrates the supporting electrical, control and mechanical systems required for a fully operational synchronous condenser plant. These include the generator circuit breaker, starting system, control and protection systems, LV/DC distribution, lubrication systems, auxiliary cooling systems and associated plant infrastructure.

Connecting equipment and plant

NeoDyne provides a fully integrated plant control and supervisory system, developed using its in-house automation and power systems expertise. The solution incorporates supervisory SCADA, redundant PLC control, machine and electrical protection, metering, and integration with the excitation and automatic voltage regulation systems.

Engineering & Testing

Ganz Electric undertakes the engineering, manufacture and factory testing of the core synchronous condenser package, including its associated machine systems. Engineering of external interfaces, including HV substations and general plant facilities, can also be incorporated where required.

Bringing the solution into operation

All rotating equipment undergoes individual routine testing at Ganz Electric’s test facility. Ganz Electric specialists supervise installation and commission the machine alongside the NeoDyne project team. Ongoing service support includes on-site diagnostics, vibration analysis, balancing, alignment checks and electrical testing to assess machine condition and support reliable operation throughout its service life.

Ongoing technical support tailored to customer requirements

Ganz Electric and NeoDyne provide ongoing technical support tailored to customer requirements, ranging from long-term service agreements to comprehensive plant operation and maintenance services. Remote plant supervision, diagnostics and operational support can also be provided through NeoDyne's 24/7 Operations Support Centre.

FAQ - Your questions answered

Understanding Synchronous Condensers

The technology and the delivery approach.

Why are synchronous condensers needed?

As renewable penetration increases, networks need additional inertia and grid support. Synchronous condensers help meet that need through rotating inertia, reactive power and short-circuit capacity.

NeoDyne brings EPC delivery and balance-of-plant integration, including electrical and control systems, construction and commissioning capability. Remote plant supervision, diagnostics and operational support can also be provided through NeoDyne’s 24/7 Operations Support Centre.

Ganz Electric is the synchronous machine OEM within the partnership. Its scope covers design and engineering to customer requirements, manufacturing, testing, and local installation and commissioning supervision. GANZ states that it manufactures in accordance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001.

Ganz Electric highlights zero harmonic generation, inherent overload capability and increased network transfer capability. These complement inertia, reactive power and short-circuit support.
