can anyone tell me if it is possible to run a asynchronous generator from a capacitor bank and what it may entail.

Yes. Most portable generators are induction generators, with a capacitor bank.

But one stage capacitor banks will cause large voltage difference with variable inductive load due to the non variable reactive power production.
