PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Intelligent power management company Eaton is working with Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to repurpose its retired Bull Run Fossil Plant in Clinton, Tennessee into a critical asset supporting reliable and clean energy.Eaton transforms retired coal-fired power plant into critical grid reliability asset.Share As more electricity comes from variable sources and electricity demand increases, maintaining grid stability becomes more challenging as coal plants reach the end of their operating lifecycles. Synchronous condensers help balance grid inertia by replacing decommissioned power generation equipment, increasing power reliability and redundancy. Eaton is providing the electrical and mechanical solutions needed to convert one machine comprised of two generators into two 605 mega-volt amperes reactive (MVAR) synchronous condensers. This will enable the Bull Run plant to add increased stability to the power grid. “Synchronous condenser conversions are complex technical projects that require a high degree of specialized knowledge and project management capabilities,” explained Igor Stamenkovic, senior vice president and general manager for Eaton’s Electrical Engineering Services and Systems Division. “Through our approach and proven success helping other utilities across North America to support reliable and affordable power, we are confident this transformation will help enhance reliability and grid stability in the region.” Eaton has the industry’s broadest portfolio of utility solutions and services designed to help utilities support resilience, performance and decarbonization. In addition to turnkey engineering support, the company is supplying essential electrical distribution and control equipment for the project, including medium-voltage variable-frequency drives, motor control centers, panelboards, relay panels and network automation hardware.
