WHY DG are rated in KVA or MVA ???., but ALL power plants
are rated in KW or MW.,,?

Answer Posted / rajsekhar mahapatro

All dg are rated in KVA but as other conventional power plants in kw because the dg's are local power plants they have to generate their own active and reactive power as well. But in modern power plants they are used to generate only the active component of power but not the reactive power, the reactive power required by the load is generated locally by using capacitors and other arrangement.So they are raked in KVA and KWs.
