Can electric generator produce any combo of MVARs and MWs
Can electric generator produce any combo of MVARs and MWs
(OP)
Can an electric generator produce any combination of MVARs and MWs such that the MVA output doesn't exceed the rating?
If I have an generator that has a rated output of 115 MVA (GE 7A6), can I produce any combination of MWs and MVARs to my preference such that the power triangle equals 115 MVA?
For example, could I go from:
100 MW & 56 MVAR = 115 MVA
to
86 MW & 76 MVAR = 115 MVA

A while ago I uploaded an old CEGB document which is a fantastic reference for anyone wanting to understand capability diagrams.

I have heard of it applied to power transformers, at the predicted hot spot. But I also haven't seen it applied on the new transformers I've seen.
And just maybe it did not work out.

I've not heard of fibre being deployed for monitoring generator windings although it seems an ideal application given the total immunity to E-M interference.
