I want to know about "hunting" of a generator. what's the effect of hunting in generator? what's the solution of that problem?

Among most Problems, Generator Hunting mainly is due to Governor Mal-Fuction. So check your Governor, Service it or if Problem exists then replace it with new one.

Also check your Pickup coil functioning.

Generators aren't allowed to use weapons, therefore they can't hunt.

Seriously, the prime mover is the cause for the generator output oscillations. A generator is simply a device for converting torque into amps. Is the torque input is fluctuating, the amps and therefore the generator output will oscillate.

Solve the problem with the prime mover driving the generator and the load will stabilize. Prime mover control systems are sometimes called 'governors'. It's likely some input to the control system, or the output which is controlling the steam or fuel input to the prime mover (turbine, reciprocating engine, etc.) is not working properly. Could also be the actuator on the control valve that's not working properly.

It's kind of like the computer adage: Garbage in; garbage out. If the torque input to the generator is not stable, the load of the generator will not be stable.
