maximum power will be transffered from sending end to receiving end when the reactance is 1.732 times its reactance
If the frequency of the oncoming generator is slightly higher than the system frequency, the phase angle between the system and generator voltages will slowly change at a frequency equal to the difference between system and generator frequencies.
With a purely resistive load the phase angle will be zero. A 'star system' refers to a three phase power system with a resistive load placed between each phase and the neutral. If you have a resistive load(s*) evenly balanced across all three phases the phase angle will be zero, although depending on which point you look at, the current will actually be zero. The 'star system' is to help compensate for unbalanced loads. In practice you are going to have a lot of inherant inductance in such a system. So either the load will have some capacitance built into it to compensate or you will have a special reactive power compensator unit to deal with it. *Actually this will be three loads.
Angle
Power factor is the ratio of true power to apparent power -if you refer to the so-called 'power triangle', these correspond to the adjacent and hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle. The cosine of the angle between them is the ratio of hypotenuse (apparent power) to adjacent (true power). As the power triangle is derived from the voltage/current phasor diagram, this is exactly the same angle as that between load current and supply voltage.
Apparent power is the product of voltage and current in an a.c. system, and is expressed in volt amperes. The rated apparent power of a transformer is the product of its rated secondary current and rated secondary voltage.

the system is balanced, meaning that the three phases have equal voltage magnitudes and are 120 degrees apart in phase angle.

In a physical system, power is the rate at which energy is transferred or converted. The relationship between power and energy is that power is the amount of energy transferred or converted per unit of time. In other words, power is the rate at which energy is used or produced in a system.
Reverse power flow into a generator can occur during synchronization if the generator is spinning too slowly, or the voltage phase angle is lagging relative to the power system. If the generator is spinning too slowly, power from the system is used by the generator to increase its' speed. If the phase angle is lagging, an initial spike of power will flow into the generator to force it into sync with the system. Typically generator's will match system frequency very closesly, and force the phase angle to leading slightly between the generator and the system. When synchronized, an extra bump of power will flow out while the generator is torqued into phase with the system. This will avoid tripping any reverse power devices.
The firing delay angle is the point in the AC cycle at which a thyristor starts conducting. By adjusting this angle, the power factor of the system can be controlled as it affects the balance between real power and reactive power. A smaller firing delay angle can improve the power factor by reducing the phase difference between voltage and current.

Distributed Control System
Apparent power is the vector sum of a load's true power and its reactive power. If you draw a 'power diagram', the phase angle will be the angle between the true power and the apparent power. If true power is fixed, then increasing the phase angle will result in a greater value of apparent power.
The power factor angle, often denoted as φ (phi), is the angle between the voltage and current waveforms in an alternating current (AC) circuit. It indicates the phase difference between the two and is related to the power factor, which measures how effectively electrical power is being converted into useful work. A power factor angle of 0 degrees signifies that voltage and current are in phase, resulting in maximum efficiency, while angles greater than 0 indicate reactive power, which can lead to losses in the system.
In power converters, the firing angle directly influences the duty cycle, which is the fraction of one cycle in which a signal or system is active. A higher firing angle typically results in a lower duty cycle, leading to reduced output voltage and power. Conversely, a lower firing angle increases the duty cycle, enhancing the output voltage and power. This relationship is particularly evident in phase-controlled converters, where adjusting the firing angle modulates the effective power delivered to the load.
A three-phase 'unbalanced' system refers to the load, as the supply voltages are unaffected by load. So the phase-angle and, therefore, the power factor of each phase will be different -i.e. there will be three different power factors.
