Abstract
Achievable generator reactive capability (GRC) is generally much less than indicated by manufacturers' reactive capability curves, due to co nstraints imposed by plant auxiliaries and the power system itself. Th e nature of these constraints is explained and a method for calculatin g them is provided and verified by field tests on a unit at high and l ow system voltage levels. Several recommendations are made to enhance the GRC of the tested unit.
