I assume this is asking about the capability curve of a generator. A generator can only produce so much actual power (kW) at a specific power factor.
As power factor changes, the amount of current flowing that is due to reactive power will also change. The total current Ix (reactive power) + Ir (real power) will cause heating in the generator, and so the generator can only kick out so much current, be it real power or reactive power. Reactive power is used to control the voltage (drag it down, or push it up) and change phase angles to push more power down specific lines.
If the load on a generator is such that it's expected to generate power outside its' capability curve, terminal voltage may begin to sag (which will cause the generator output power to be less, potentially exacerbating the problem), or may float too high (potentially damaging equipment). Excessive heating in the generator can also result, and protective devices may kick in to trip the generator off line.

Theory for load test on dc shunt generator?
load test on dc shunt generator is a test to plot the internal and external characteristics of the generator.
How is a Load applied to a ac generator?
The load conductor is connected to the load side of the generator breaker. Once the generator is up to speed the load breaker is closed and the voltage is then applied to the load.
What is the characteristics for a generator on a full load?
What characteristics are you looking for? At full load, a synchronous generator will be spinning at synchronous speed, providing real power (watts), and likely some reactive power (vars), or it may be taking reactive power from the system to help hold the system voltage down under light loading conditions.
What is the load rejection and load pick-up in the power generation?
Load rejection occurs when load is suddenly removed from the generator. The most obvious example of this is the breaker connecting the generator to the power grid opens. This results in a full load rejection. Load pick up means the generator is supplying power to a given load. When a generator comes on line, it will pick up some load that might have been supplied by another generator.
How to compute the minimum load of 16 MW generator?
A generator, rated at 16 MW, should be able to continuously supply a load of 16 MW. You don't need to compute its 'minimum load', because the minimum load will be zero watts! In other words, you can run the generator with no load whatsoever if you wish to waste fuel.The point is that the power supplied by a generator is determined by the load, NOT by the generator itself -so it is important that the generator is capable of supplying the maximum load applied to it. A generator's 'rated power output' simply tells us the maximum load it is capable of supplying.
Can DC series generator start on no load?
yes.it is possible to start dc series generator on no load condition
What is the basis of a generator load?
The load on a generator is a general word for whatever device is connected to it to use the power that is being generated.
How does the load affect voltage output of a series generator?
In a series generator, the voltage output is directly affected by the load. As the load increases, the voltage output decreases due to increased voltage drops across the internal resistance of the generator. Conversely, reducing the load will result in an increase in the voltage output.
How does a generator adjust to the load?

What is meant by load in diesel generators?
Any device that uses the generator to supply its operating voltage is electrically classed as a generator load.
How it is getting current from generator?
To draw current from a generator, you need to connect a load to it.
