System and method for power factor correction

A system and method for controlling a power factor in a generator system is provided. In some embodiments, a generator system includes one or more generators configured to supply power to a grid, an automatic voltage regulator configured to regulate a voltage output by the generators to a set voltage and a power factor output to a set power factor, and a controller. The controller is configured to detect a fault on the output and adjust the set power factor of the automatic voltage regulator based on the fault. The controller is further configured to ramp up the set power factor from the adjustment value back to an initial value for a set time period. 提供了一种用于控制发电机系统中的功率因数的系统和方法。在一些实施例中，发电机系统包括被配置为向电网供电的一个或多个发电机、被配置为将发电机输出的电压调节到设定电压并且将输出的功率因数调节到设定功率因数的自动电压调节器、以及控制器。所述控制器被配置为检测所述输出上的故障，并且基于所述故障来调整所述自动电压调节器的所述设定功率因数。所述控制器还被配置为在设定时间段内将所述设定功率因数从所述调整值斜升回初始值。
