1. A method of determining a transitional operating point of a generator, the transitional operating point corresponding to a particular load level, the method comprising:

  • setting the operating point of the generator to the particular load level;

    setting the operating power factor of the generator close to one;

    measuring total power of the generator;

    incrementally decreasing the operating power factor of the generator and measuring incremental change in the total power of the generator;

    comparing the incremental change in the total power of the generator to a threshold; and

    if the incremental change is greater than the threshold, storing the operating power factor as the transitional operating power factor at the particular load level.
