power factor control or reactive power control
(OP)
I have a system that is allows for power factor control or reactive power control of a generator? This is in the context of a motor/generator air compressor train which synchronises to the grid after start up and exports power under the right process conditions.
If the shaft input power is say 3MW.
Does pf contol allow AVR operation to control excitation voltage to deliver kVArs only?
Does reactive power control allow export of kW and kVArs?
Any help or advice on further reading would be appreciated, Thanks

You might start by looking at the paper:

A lps for you.

Just to get an understanding in the meantime. Are these two statements correct.
All the shaft power of the train gets converted to supplying active power in the form of reactive kVAr (plus machine kW losses).
It would not deliver real power back into the system as the frequency is locked with the grid.
