Systems and methods for detecting abrupt voltage changes and supplying reactive power support are provided. In some embodiments, a genset connected to a power grid can identify a maximum voltage value and a minimum voltage value. The maximum voltage value and the minimum voltage value are based on an average of a plurality of mains voltage values. The genset may detect an abrupt voltage change by determining whether an instantaneous mains voltage value is above the maximum voltage value or below the minimum voltage value. The genset can adjust an amount of reactive current either supplied to the power grid or consumed by the genset for a period of time, responsive to detecting the abrupt voltage change.
