Synchronous Condensers (Part 1 of 2)

In this lesson we'll introduce the synchronous condenser. We'll learn that a synchronous motor uncoupled from a mechanical load can act as a dynamic power factor correction device. We'll learn that underexcitation of the rotor causes the synchronous condenser to consume positive reactive power as would an inductor and overexcitation of the rotor causes the synchronous condenser to supply negative reactive power as would a capacitor. By managing field current a synchronous condenser can power factor correct a larger 3 phase AC system. (Part 1 of 2)

That is why it is not practical to power correct for domestic settings. You listed three main reasons.

True dat. Some things only work well at large scale.
