Can a power factor correction influence the supply generator?
 
Yes: vars supplied by the PFC unit don't need to be supplied by the generator.

If the PFC over-corrects then the generator will operate at a leading power factor, which is not a part of the capability curve you'd ideally want to be operating on.
