Claim 0:
1. A method of detecting abrupt voltage changes and supplying reactive power support comprising:
identifying, by a genset connected to a power grid, a maximum voltage value and a minimum voltage value based on an average of a plurality of mains voltage values;
detecting, by the genset, an abrupt voltage change by determining whether an instantaneous mains voltage value is above the maximum voltage value or below the minimum voltage value;
determining, by the genset, an operating mode associated with a power factor and a reactive power of the genset based on the detected abrupt voltage change; and
adjusting, by the genset, based on the operating mode, an amount of reactive current either supplied to the power grid or consumed by the genset for a period of time.
