Utilization of electrical drives and machines is a key to higher efficiency and reliability of carbon capture and hydrogen processes. In this presentation, various type of electrical drives and motors are introduced. The role of electrical drives in improving compression process efficiency as well as use of them as starters will be reviewed. Finally, the role of synchronous condensers in an ever-greener electrical system is investigated. This presentation focuses on how each of these solutions can be a determining factor in feasibility and cost effectiveness of various compression, transportation, and storage operations.
