Reactive Power, reactive load, voltage

To All,

Please clear me out these things to me.. Right now i am quite confused though i have read a lot about it, i want to hear from the experts that what i know about the above stated subject is true.

1. The voltage is proportional to the amount of reactive power present in the generator which can be controlled by varying the the input voltage to the excitation system.

2. Reactive loads (induction motors) draws the reactive power from the generator and leads to voltage drop in the system.

3. Initially, when the generator has no load, the power factor is zero since no current is present, or oftentimes close to unity. When the generator is loaded with motors, the power factor drops, due the reactive power has been drawn and so as the voltage also drops.

-----followup question: does the droop setting in avr connected with the power factor??

4. When generators are paralleled, which will absorb the reactive load? The one with less droop setting or the one with high?? Why?

Than you in advance.
