Method and system are provided for operating a generator using a dynamic capability
curve. In one embodiment, the method allows providing a family of static capability
curves corresponding to nominal reference levels of pressure of a fluid for cooling
the generator. The method further allows acquiring data indicative of the actual
pressure of the cooling fluid. A dynamic capability curve is generated to be responsive
to the actual pressure of the cooling fluid. The family of static capability curves
may be displayed relative to the dynamic capability curve, thereby allowing the
operator to monitor and control the operation of the generator based on the actual
pressure of the cooling fluid and further in view of at least one of the nominal
reference levels of pressure for the cooling fluid.
