Many people have asked how to generate a PQ curve (reactive capability curve) of a plant at the POC. Previously you could use Machine Reactive Capability Report in CLI which was not as practical as you would imagine Now that PSSE V35 is out this function is further enhanced.Generator reactive capability curve data (GCAP) stored with Machine Data – efficiently compare this data side-by-side. The QMin/QMax automatically updates when PGen is changed

That's a great question. unfortunately, there is no step by step guide out there. Why not we create one here.

Lets start with a draft and then others can review and update it:
