Can conventional hydro generator units carry reactive power

Can bring. Generator normal operation, in addition to connecting with the rated active power, but also with a certain amount of reactive power, the proportion of reactive power can not be less than one-third of the active power, that is, the generator's power factor can not be more than the late phase 0.95. If the generator is running reactive power for the negative, belongs to the abnormal state. At this time, you should check the excitation system voltage and current is normal, such as can not be restored, should be immediately shut down to deal with.
