It depends on the line voltage (EL) involved. Apparent power, expressed in volt amperes (V.A) for a three-phase system is equal to 1.732 EL IL. You'll need to divide by 1000 to determine it in kilovolt amperes.
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.
The load on a generator is a general word for whatever device is connected to it to use the power that is being generated.
Too much load for the generator, the generator began to under speed / overspeed, the governor / part of the generator went into failure, the generator capability was not up to the requirements placed by the system (needing to push out/pull in too many VARs), etc. there are many reasons for a generator to drop a load. Because a load dropped, this does not infer that the generator was the cause either (fault on the system, system instability limits reached, system protection tripped - non-generator related protection).
The causes of over loading in generator comes from the action of applying more load that the generator is rated for. An example using a 5000 watt generator and a connected load of 6000 watts.
When using a resistive load bank to test a generator, it does not matter if you load the generator to its kW or kVA rating, because those two numbers are the same when considering a resistive load. Power factor, which is the difference between true and apparent power, only comes into play when there is a reactive (inductive or capacitative) load.

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.
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.
a curve drawn for power against load angle maximum power occurs at load angle of 900 maximum power will be transffered from sending end to receiving end when the reactance is 1.732 times its reactance
yes.it is possible to start dc series generator on no load condition
The load on a generator is a general word for whatever device is connected to it to use the power that is being generated.
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.

For maximum power transfer the load resistance should be equal to the source resistance.An often misunderstood theorem. It applies strictly where one wishes maximum power transfer.It was misused for example in early power systems by trying to match the generator resistance to the load resistance.And it has little application in audio systems, where Power is much less important than Distortion. [for least distortion, the output impedance of the amplifier should be less than 10% of the impedance of the load.]
Any device that uses the generator to supply its operating voltage is electrically classed as a generator load.
To draw current from a generator, you need to connect a load to it.
