why the capacity of power plant is given in MW though the generators are rated in MVA?..

Answer / lalit

if we talk about the generator then we have to classify the
active power as well as reactive power i.e. V*I because the
reactive power is also used in generator for the excitation
purpose( for flux production). hence its rated as MVA in
other hand, for power transmission only active power is used
i.e. VICos theeta. hence its rated as Mw.

why the capacity of power plant is given in MW though the generators are rated in MVA?..

Answer / koteswararao

In generator to generate the reactive power in combination of voltage and current base so it ishaving both specification in MVA in plant capacity is combination of reactive power and power factor. how much load taken byplant.
